1753 PILLAR One Reale (NEW PICS)

[umrgolf]

Yes!! the J-team(Sentinel and myself) scored our second 1753 pillar one reale in two weeks (Josh's was in comparable shape, but holed) This was found at a NEW site which is nothing more than a big vacant lot in the middle of town... I dug somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 pieces of trash, but knew it would pay off since it was both a union and confederate camp.. I was more than shocked to see spanish silver come out of the ground today. It gave a copper penny reading at 4 inches and when I popped the plug the signal disappeared. I looked down and removed a small piece of iron and BAM the signal was back.. Expecting to reach down and pick up my 1970 penny, I couldn't believe the silver disc I was looking at.. Also today, I dug my first Enfield bullet along with 4 .69 caliber bullets and a few other odds and ends..


NEW PICS-Mine on LEFT, Josh's on RIGHT (notice we have different mintmarks.. mine is mexico city and Josh's has an I w/ a dot over it next to an M ) Thank you MackayDon The mintmark on Josh's is Lima, Peru

How come a lot of those old silver coins have holes in them? Did they wear them on a chain or something?

They were carried on a string for safekeeping
