Just got back from Unionbridge Maryland. Went to a farm with a co-worker that dates back from 1770. Detected for 3 hours and only found junk. We had about 20 minutes to spare before we had to head back home, so we strolled down by the pond and within 10 minutes my buddy found a 1725 Hispaniarum Rex. GRRR, I WAS GOING TO HIT THAT SPOT, THEN CHANGED MY MIND!!!!! The coin is in good shape. I'll try to get a photo here within the next few days. We are heading back on Monday, I'll have my camera with me then. Hope I can have the same luck as he did!!!!

The owner of the farm said that the pond was man made around 1955. When they dug the pond area, they threw most of the dirt along the sides of it. THE 1725 COIN WAS ONLY ABOUT 2 INCHES DEEP.

Thanks for looking!!!

Jeff

Wow that's a great find your buddy got,that would be a Philip V if not mistaken,he ruled from 1700-40's may be wrong though.Perhaps your luck will turn around Monday.Sounds like a prime site you have.

That coin is in unbelievable condition!!!!!!!!!!

Great Coin. Couple of them on EBAY from 1725 going for just under 90 bucks. I was shocked at that price but that appears to be the going rate for those in and around that date.
