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!

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