1777 Spanish Colonial Silver

[boondocker]

Didn't get a chance to get out yesterday when the weather was so nice, so I made plans to go out today, had a few things to do around the house in the morning, then go TH'ing. Then the wife informs me that we have to go to our Grandsons deck hockey game at 4, so that cut my time way down, so out to the front yard which has been very productive in the past, our land has been used from around 1740, after about an hour of nothing I decided to try the woods, and an overgrown field next to the house. Another hour of nothing and time was getting short, so I tried one more spot in the field and asked the TH'ing Gods for something, please, I got a good solid signal of quarter and half dollar at 7 inches, cut my plug and out popped this beauty . I couldn't believe it, I was shaking, I have seen them but never found one. I tried hunting some more but couldn't concentrate, so off I went to clean my trophy and show the wife, and then post it for everybody to enjoy, gotta love this hobby, thanks for looking Dean
