Visited a relative in CT recently who lives on an old farm with lots of land. The property dates back late 1700's and my relatives have lived there a very long time...I'm confident it has never been detected. Got a great signal in a field near the house and my heart nearly stopped when I saw a holed 1806 Eight Real in the hole. Only my second Spanish ever. Mexico City mint. I'm still numb.

What a coin!!! Great find!
 

Great feeling that i just recently know myself. Congrats! [emoji2][emoji106]
 

Any silver coin that large coming out of the ground is a feat. And the age makes it sweeter. Incredible recovery
