8 Reales Dug Today... Oh Boy!

Hill Billy · Oct 27, 2009

Well lets just say it's been a long wait to hunt this site. I received permission to hunt this place about 2 months ago. Well work and timing and soybeans were always getting in the way. Well last week the property owner called to tell me the soybeans had been cut. i said i'll be there as soon as I can. Well a couple more days of rain and work later, I finally made it today with Buckleboy. Well it started off slow and we couldn't find the sweet spot. Well it wasn't to much longer when I found a flat button. Well a little while later BBoy hit a IH penny. Well soon there after so did I, a beautiful 1892. Well a little while later I had to call old BBoy over to show him a sweet find. Out pops this baby.
8 Reales :laughing7:

I'll let BBoy finish the rest of the day cause it was all his. I'm just happy to find the 8.

Happy Hunting

Congratulations Bill Hilly! Sorry I got your post and BB's post mixed up. You da man! I totally understand the rarity factor for the area you guys hunt. Just like someone said...It is a rare find to begin with, never mind Kentucky. I'm sure this one is going right in the middle of your display case!
Nice finds!
Dave.

You can bet it's going in the case.
Can't beat ole Ky

I heard about this find from Buckleboy via telephone not long after you found it. Great find! Wish I could have been there when you dug it up. Nice one, HB.

Wish you could have been there too.
Really sorry I didn't get to meet you again. I know it was your second trip here since I've known your son.
Oh well, maybe next time.
