Finally and a true bucket lister in US soil for me, dug my first real, its actually a 1/2 real from 1772. Attack of the wheats this time with 11 coins, two being 1909. An old Jefferson, followed by two 1943 war nickels, a dateless buffalo. A modern token and a tag with the number 63, also dug an old Baltimore & Ohio ( B&O ) lead seal. A few modern buttons all with iron backs, The best and oldest one is the Baltimore Police button that should date in the early 1900s, A collar stud and what I think if also a collar stud with a US Flag on it. Also found a St. Christopher religious medal. A tiny intact lock, usually i dig them with the loop missing. A pocket knife that disintegrated and left me only with the gold-filled handles. The base to a lead soldier and a gun missing the barrel. The 1/2 Real is really a good find among these others since most are not nearly as old and im glad u dug that sketchy signal.

Super finds! [emoji2][emoji106]
 

Great finds, I love the police button. Nice mix you have there!
 

Great finds! Did you pull the half reale out of a Baltimore park?
 

Congratulations on some mighty nice finds!
 

Awesome stuff. The little broken revolver may be a cracker jack prize.
 

Congrats on knocking that off the list. I’m blown away at some of the coins coming out of the dirt right now

Very true, early coppers and then the Morgan dollars are also popping here and there
 

Very nice find man. Nothing feels like Spanish silver in the hand. Nice snag!

Yes indeed, dug a few pieces in Mexico but this my first one in US soil, it sure felt nice.
 

Gotta love digging a half real in a park. I've never been able to find anything extremely old in parks. Don't really hunt them anymore. Congrats on some nice finds! :thumbsup:
