Today went back to the pond were I found the 8 reale a few months ago.
It was really hot, and things were slow. So I decided to go into the woods a little to get out of the sun.
I am so glad I did.. 5 minutes in there I get real nice high tone on the CTX 1345/1246. New it was going to be silver or a LC, it said 6inches, so I take my time and cut a nice plug flip it over a right there was a handsome guy with a big nose looking right at me..LOL the 2reale!!! This is my first 2reale, found half ones 1reales, cut 4reale, and my big 8reale..
You know I was happy..
Especially since I whatched CJON, pull a 1728 Pistareen out right in front of me at this site with my machine!!!! Lol.
So now I am really excited and I am going to slow down and really pound this area.. About 20min later I get almost the same signal, and my heart is pounding, it tells me this one is 8inch down, i cut the plug and its even deeper. I found it and take it out I look at it a i think its a one reale..
I wipe a little dirt of and see seated liberty, and say oh a quarter cool.
Put it in my bag and keep detecting.
Not much after that.
So I go to my truck and text Bill D a pic of the 2reale. Then he calls me and were talking. I tell him i also found a seated quarter and i grap it out of my pouch and say hey it seems smalller???? Thats weird..
I turn it on to the back a can just make out 20 ce..
I say get the hell out of here, its a 20 center... I always wanted to find one since i started detecting. After I found my first 2center, i found out they made different monies..lol
2 cents, 3cents, half cents, half dimes and the elusive 20centers!!!!
Now my weird cents are COMPLETE. .LOL.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the pics.

What an awesome day George! A hearty congratulations on not just one, but two fantastic finds. If you had posted just one of these it would have been a super day. Finding both in the same day in my book has to deserve a banner nomination. So my vote is in. That Karma is one powerful thing.
 

Vino, you never cease to amaze me with your spectacular finds. :occasion14:
 

That's a beautiful 2 real, and finding a seated is a great find too--and having it be a 20c is AMAZING! Thanks for posting these finds. I'm in a slump, but seeing things like this helps keep the dream alive haha!

Thanks J.
Glad i could motivate you. .
I was in a slump also.
Nice way to come out. Lol
 

I know that you have been looking for the 2 real, and what a nice one you have found, but to ALSO find a 20 center, dang man. It has been a long time since I saw one posted. Congrats on once again making everyone jealous!

Spectacular finds George.

Banner find IMO.
 

I can't believe that you found a 20 cent piece! OMG! That is awesome. I didn't even bother putting 20 cent piece on my bucket list. :notworthy:
 

Your welcome Vino,i know you meant to respond to me and thank me for pointing out the S,you just are busy
Slow I believe that I was the blindman that didn't see the S not Vino. So let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for pointing out MY MISTAKE.Thank You. FYI I had eye surgery on my right eye a couple of months ago and found out yesterday they now are recommeding surgery on my left eye. So maybe after that is done I won't miss that S again. But again Thank You Slow.

Hey TBD...If you give me a minute, I can point out some of your mistakes...
 

George, that is only the second 20 cent piece I have ever seen posted. That one is banner for sure. The 2 reales with the Lima mint mark is a sweet find. I have found about 65 pieces of Spanish silver over the last 25 years, but only 5 of them have been 2 reales. You certainly have a golden horse shoe around your neck. It's remarkable to walk into the woods (even on a good spot like your pond site) and walk out with two nice coins like that, especially if those coins were your only two keepers!

I think we differ on our opinion of a slump lol

The bad thing for most of us is that the best is yet to come from the pond. Can't wait to see it.

Thanks Jay,
It definitely was a great day for me.
You know how bad I wanted to find a 2reale, let alone a 20center..
Look forward to ur visit this fall.

Thanks Cryer,
The 20center was just a wish.
Lol.
 

Thanks Steve.
Its all about location right????
Thats why we work on good permission. Takes time, but so worth it, sometimes. Lol
George

Yes. My latest permission took 5 months and 10 board and panel meetings. But as you know one permission leads to another. Lol

Thanks Steve,
I thought the reale was a Mexico mint mark?
