1786 Half Reale...

[ScottBR]

Hello all!


Third time out with the Deus at a spot I have been pounding for about a year. I am certain I have walked miles and miles around this land. I am finding a wide range of items spanning at least several hundred years. It's amazing! I found a 1936 walker about the three feet from where I dug this beauty. The walker was only five inches down, but this little bugger sounded like a mosquito buzzing my ear. I knew it had to be deep!

Enjoy!

Well done Scott. I just bought a Deus. Hope it plucks some keepers out of my old spots

Nice find Scott. Thanks for sharing...

Here something interesting. If you look closely at the coin you can see someone crudely carved "RIP" on the face of this coin. Charles the III who is on the coin died two years after this coin was minted. Just a thought.

Well done on getting the old silver

Congrats on the Spanish silver. That’s a really nice find.

I’ve used a Deus for almost 4 years, and really enjoy it. The more you use it, the better it gets.

Best of luck to you sir!

Great find. Is that brown circle on the left the start of a hole? It looks like dirt in a holed coin, but not on the reverse.

Beautiful coin and what a fun variety!

That Deus is proving to be a great machine.
