Big Colonial Silver at one of my favorite Cellar Holes!!

[johnnyblaze]

Got out to a cellar i found exactly a year ago around this time was the first time i hunted this virgin site

This is a true Colonial site probably abandoned around 1840 or so..Most recent coin on this site was a 1829 Large cent

Started off slow grabbed a couple of regular buttons and a monster musket ball

Then i grabbed the key which was probaly the front door key
I love these relics

Then on the way back i got a 87 signal or so and had a hard time diggin in the roots

Out pops a 1774 Spanish 2 Reale

Unfortunately i hit it with the shovel it was pristine condition

I never hit the coins when it is a toasted copper

Right next to it i got another copper..I think it is a state copper

Have fun out there

Here is the entire site finds

sweet big silver.
i nicked an 1804 large cent last year, and it made me pretty queasy.
the toast always lands buttered side down, and the crusty bits never get hit...

Nice find John! Too bad about the scratch but it still looks good. Is that by the resivoir?
