2 slices of Spanish Pistareen Pie for the holidays!

First I want to thank Vino for helping me with the settings on the XP Deus. Thanks a lot!

This is my haul from the last few days -2 fields containing 3 sites. I'm still new to the Deus and trying it out on my heavily hunted colonial fields. I really had the Deus fined tuned yesterday with help from Vino. Got the 1817 large cent, the GII halfpenny and the 2 Spanish cut reales yesterday on a 6 hour hunt. All the stuff in the pouch came out yesterday and I am convinced there are more silver pieces waiting in the iron beds.

Excellent digs! Are you in VA? It seems by the finds you are making.

I don't think anyone has noticed it yet, but there is something special about that 1817 Coronet Head cent you dug. It has 15 obverse stars instead of 13. This particular die variety of 1817 is the only one in the whole series with 15 stars, and is worth a premium as such. Cool find!

Thanks for pointing that out. Will have to check that.

Itchin' is right! I just got permission for a new site which I already investigated and its virgin. Got new info that shows its the birthplace of an important colonists but thats as much as I can say without divulging the location. The place is strewed with colonial pipe and it appears to date to the late 17th century. So cool. Same deal though. MUST WAIT TIL FEB! The good news is its cut over beans and the farmer wont be planting wheat.

Man, sounds like you're on to something really good. The wait does suck. You're probably breaking out in cold sweats and will have the DT's �� by February but that does give you some time to do some more research on both sites. Keep that info close. Can't wait to see how things start to unfold for you in February. Best of Luck!
