I went back to the 1800s farmhouse where I found the 1846 silver dollar a few years ago and struck silver again with a 1835 Mexican 1/2 Real. I hit another great "high tone" signal a few feet away from the 1/2 real and was praying it was another one. It turned out to be a 1943 Mercury Dime. Found a 2cd Merc before the day was through. All in all a great day.

That’s a globe and pillars variety. The pillars symbolizing the straits of Gibraltar. Great find
