A LARGE Copper...Another First for Me!!

[romeo-1]

One of my permissions asked if I could find a lost disk on a piece of property...and I couldn't say yes fast enough! Found the disk pretty quickly and spent the next couple hours detecting the field. Lots of indications of a site but only found randoms. The 1861 Nova Scotia Half Cent went to the land owner with thr disk.

The 1823 40 Reis was the find of the day and a new one for me. Big thick copper!

That is one big 1823 40 reis copper. I'll bet when you plunked that one down for payment it made quite the thuddd. Congrats on 2 super finds.

One of my first memorable foreign coin finds was one of those many years ago, I still remember pulling that giant disc from the dirt...pretty thick to say least lol
Not a common find, good job!

Killer coin bud! I have a 1734 10 Reis that’s 31mm. They’re an impressive looking copper.
