ANOTHER GOOD OUTING - 1780 Spanish Real, 1803 Half Cent, Draped Bust LC, and more!

[Steve in PA]

I got out yesterday to my latest hotspot. Had another good hunt. I hunkered down in the hot zone and dug 24 buttons, 3 coins, a keg spigot cap, and a few musketballs in about 5 hours. The coins were an 1803 Draped Bust Half Cent, a Draped Bust Large Cent, and a 1780 Spanish 1 Real. Even though the Real is worn and a little bent, it is cool because someone long ago decided to scratch the letter "H" on the kings face.

You are killing it Steve! I love that reale with the "H" carved on it! Congrats friend!

I agree with SC Keith. It is really cool any time you find something that has been personalized.....especially if it was personalized a couple of hundred years ago! Great hunt.

You're cleaning up like a maid on 'roids. Keep sweeping!

Another excellent hunt Steve. Congrats on your 51st Colonial Silver. Looking forward to digging with you and Tom in the Spring.

I knew there was going to be more silver there Steve. With you making all those finds in a 2nd trip there, its a given you've still got more to dig. Good start on your next 50 silvers!!
