A good day! A KG and a pewter box with a silver surprise!

[creade]

Today was pretty mild today so I decided not to waste a opportunity to get out. We're not going to get many more days like this. So my main plan was to hit the driveway where there used to be a poor farm. I had done it before for a couple of buttons. Nothing at all,so I went across the street where the barn used to be and dug up a key on a chain. Definitely bot newer,maybe 50-60s?? It says gm your key to greatness on it. So after a hour I gave up. I decided to try this spot on my way home. I've got some decent things out of it but not since last year. But since I know the area was around in 1740-50 ,I keep going back. I went towards this big pine that I found a large cent at last year. About a foot from it ,I get this scratchy signal that says 8 inches. As I start to dig down,it becomes solid. A KG!! Awesome! No date but after a soak,maybe I can get one. I cover my hole and swing the CTX to the left and it hits a high mid tone. I'm like,no way right?! It says 10 inches and it was every bit of that. At first I thought it was 2 coins stuck together. After I knocked some dirt off,it looked like a round box. I shook it,hear something rattling around in it. So I had to open it. A 1779 reale and a 1832 capped bust half dime was inside. Unreal! Then it started raining. I think I have to explore this place a little bit more 😎

When you get that feeling you’ve got to hunt it’s time to go! Way to take advantage of a nice day. Awesome hunt. Awesome finds.

Thanks!

This is purely awesome. I'd be happy for weeks after a hunt like this. Congrats!

Yeah,I'll be on a little high for the holidays 😬

I have dreamed about this! Except you weren’t in the dream. Dang man.

You got capped and Spanish in one fell swoop. That’s just as good as it gets in my book. One hole, wow.

Big congrats.

I was pretty stoked when I opened that up!

Epic findings, congrats! Wish I had enough luck to find such treasures...

 

[sandchip]

So damned cool!

 

[creade]

That’s a fantastic find you made!

Thanks!

congrats! Now that is the way to end the season on top!!

Thanks but I hope the season still has some left to it!

Excellent hunt you had! I agree, I'd go back and dig even iron grunts if they are at depth. We don't find stuff that old out here! Grats and thanks for posting.

Thanks! That’s the plan ,man. You guys have more gold then we do though

 

[neodetectorist]

That is excellent. Great recovery. What a feeling huh?

 

[Trezurehunter]

Outstanding ! Congrats on your coin finds.

 

[Silvermonkey]

Found yourself your own little treasure chest, did you? Congratulations. I'm guessing you were thrilled when you popped it open and those two beauties fell out. Nicely done.

 

[Scrappy]

That’s a pretty cool find. I hope you keep it all together for the display - it’ll look awesome!

Fantastic hunt, congratulations!

Thnks!

Nearly every little "container" I have dug has been empty. I did get a compact with a Merc dime and a few Wheaties once. Nothing that compares to this incredible TWO for ONE silver Jubilee! Not to forget your very nice score on the old Copper KG. What a remarkable short few moments of Treasure Hunting COOLNESS!!! Firmly engrained in your memory bank for the duration I am certain. Way to get after it before freeze up. Well Done!

thanks!ive found multiple boxes before,never anything in them,a first for me!

Heck of a hunt ---2 super old silvers in the same hole is awesome !!

Thanks! I’ve uppped the bar on myself now!

 

[Calabash Digger]

awesome finds!

 

[Diggin Dude]

All I can say is... THAT"S FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Pound that spot until there's not even iron left in the ground! Congrats and HH

Great hunt! Those are some crazy finds!

Thanks!

Thats a sweet two for one find right there

i still keep looking at it,like it didn’t happen😁

Amazing hunts only happen once in a lifetime. Two great old coins from the same hole is certainly awesome.You must go back there again.

Yeah that probably won’t happen again,but it won’t be from lack of trying

 

[MrBlueSkyNM]

Man that's awesome! What a great little treasure! Congratulations!
