Hello all needless to say I'm super excited
Today I texted scrappy told him I dig a cartwheel
Penny. I get home start cleaning it and realize
It's not a copper it's silver. Not just silver but
Colonial silver Spanish silver
1757 Ferdinand VI 8 reale
Thanks for looking hh gl
Shout out to barrel and scrappy making me learn
The deus. My go to machine !

After researching an old tavern I read about and a road between to small colonial
Towns I realized a lot of the land was and has been still woods I was shot from s long hunt with the *******s of bramble on Friday so I was staying close to home I decided to hit that spot it's flat ground
And easy access. I get tuned up and started hitting targets right away. A few old wazzits a few Indians
After about an hour I'm walking slowly out toward car
I am using the deus at 7.8 frequency and swinging slow. I hear the chirp it's crystle clear
I was not expecting this. At 10 inches out poop's the brown disk
Like I said I'm thinking cartwheel penny Needless to say I'm sure glad I was wrong. Thanks again
Hh gl.

Congratz on a banner find silver! That thing is gorgeous! I would say it is the find of a lifetime, but I hope you find more! Enjoy the heart pounding excitement I'm sure you're still experiencing! :hello2:
 

Congrats on a well deserved banner! Its amazing the condition both before and after of that 8R... nice job on the clean up too!
 

Somehow I missed this man. That's a gorgeous coin that I know you're proud of. Maybe there's more ???
 

Awesome coin man

I had the same happen to me. I found a 8 reale and it was totally encrusted like that. Not sure if the silver is slightly lower grade

Congrats on the banner
 

What a killer coin man. When I think of treasure, stuff like that comes to mind. wtg.
 

That coin is stunning to say the least. :headbang: Congrats!
 

im very excited for you, that is amazing! and a older date than most found
 

Even Crabstang is impressed Charlie. Dang!
 

8 Reale is on the top of my bucket list, incredible dig!
That makes two reales for me I haveva 2 reals and 8. I will keep hunting for the others. My "bucket list is a seated coin '
I have all sorts of copper and silvers but not one seated coin !!

Mark my words, you'll have a seated within a month judging by the way the Basstrds of Bramble (B.O.B)are kicking &$$!. Lol

Yeah buddy. Btw do you like duck sausage?
 

Omg dude!!! That thing is absolutely stunning!! I want to come over and hold it too 😟
Lol
