🥇 BANNER 1778 Spanish 8 reales

[K1DDO1979]

I had a amazing hunt today with some friends at a new cellar hole property. We all did very well and all went home with old coppers and old silvers. My find of the day and i still cant believe i found one is a 1778 mexico city mint 8 reales. I never thought i would get one of these. It was a good signal but i had to work for it under tree roots. I knew what it was though as soon as it. It is in great shape and the pictures don’t do it justice at all. Thanks for looking! [emoji2][emoji106]

Yep this needs to be on the banner. Its quite a whopper, both as a coin and find. You can tell it was buried. Wont be long and this will be up top. Banner vote going in now.

The votes mean a lot. Thank you. Banner or not it will be a day and find to remember for me. Im glad i get to share these finds with the people on here and to see all theirs. One of the best parts of this hobby is what great stuff can pop out when you least expect it. Makes the finds that much more surprising and special when they do! [emoji2][emoji106]
