AT Pro finds 8 Reale Spanish Silver!!! And past 3 weeks finds!

[flyinryan2]

Today was one of my best day detecting since i started. I found my first Spanish silver, a 8 reale at that. It is my first silver with my AT Pro and first 1700's coin with a readable date. I also found today a 1944 wheat penny, 2 gardeners and a brass zero or o that i dont know what it is? Tuesday i found a nice flat button with treble gilt in large font and a headbadge to a ward hawthorne flyer bicycle. Last friday i found two very nice New York Officer Staff buttons one was missing the back but both are a great find since all the bullets in the area seem to be confederate. I also found 2 gardeners near by. The week before i was on a different property were i have found many gardeners and found 7 more, all 3 varieties of the 58 caliber bullet! Thanks for looking and HH!

Yea it has Caldwell enscribed in it i found it where we work out of. The name of the road is Caldwell lane so i guess the road was named after this guy.

Great finds, I would love to find some Spanish silver like that, she's a real bute.
Also I think your "O" may be a base plate for a canvas fastener.

Wow thanks. That looks like that is it. What were they used for and could it be Civil War era?

Very well done from a fellow AT Pro swinger. Do you remember the VDI on the spaniard? Thanks.

I LOVE the firefighter button, because I am a firefighter, myself. And the reale does look fake. When you dug it, did it look like silver coins usually do or did you have to scrub it to make it look like it does?

I had it set up on pro coins iron disc on 35 all notches turned on. It came in around 68 to 75 solid tone.
