3 Amigos Colonial Recon Mission

jamesbibb · May 30, 2011

Met up with Bob and Mike for a good day of trecking in the blistering eat to eat some spiders and find some colonial goodies. WE found a promising site that was stingy on the good targets. Here is the link to Bobs post...

"to eat some spiders" :laughing9:

Isn't that the truth... I cannot believe all the spiders in that forest today. All in all, I had a great time with you and Bob. Nice Pisterene brother. :hello2:

See you this next week

Glad to see you guys got some keepers even though it had been hunted before. Good luck on your next hunt.

sweet Pistareen, James.. and for those asking lately why or how they're different than other reales- they were actually minted in Spain as opposed to the bust or pillar type reales we often find that were minted in South American spanish colonies.

Nice one James! Always a pleasure to find a cut Spanish coin. They are kind of a cross between a coin and a relic. Out of 15 cut pieces I have found, only one was a "half cut", but it was an 8 reale cut to 4 reales :laughing7:
