Great job...I have to make my way down to south jersey one of these days. I have three Spanish silvers under my belt - one milled and two cobs. Only two are from NJ.

Mark awesome spanish! Your tearing it up this year. Hopefully we score on saturday.

20 Spanish is a pretty good number and one I'm closing in one myself. But it took me 11 years to do it, and will probably take twenty more to get the next 20 at the rate I dig them now. The thing is once you have so many they're cool to dig but something different is nice and what I prefer.

Nice score for sure.. your on a roll.. congrats..

Without giving away any secrets... Would you mind telling the environmental conditions that this was found? A homesite/farm/field/other? What city/town is it near? Just trying to see how close to my own backyard that stuff like this is being dug up. (I'm in Paulsboro). If any of you SJ guys ever want a "newbie" tagging along, I would love to meet up for a hunt some time. Jerseyben@gmail.com or pm me, please.

I only have one under my belt, but when you look at the area I do most of my detecting, I don't think its half bad!

 

[chark21798]

Yes Patch u r right, I love digging spanish silver but old coppers and us coins i like much better. ( never in a million years i ever thought i would say that). But all these spanish i have yet to dig a bust coin, in do time I hope. HH Mark Dreams are goals with deadlines.
