🥇 BANNER Clay Pot with Coins Inside!!!!!

[BVI Hunter]

Back to my pals old property and found had a signal close to this pot.
I had previously picked up lots of surface bottle finds so moved this out of the way to use the pinpointer - but the signal had gone

Looked inside and saw what turned out to be coins!!!!

Will try to clean these up a bit, the soil was packed quite hard inside.

Picture below show the pot (outside and inside) and the coins as found!

Damn guy that's just too much....!!!!!!! Congrats and another great find. If I ever start digging up old rusty irons at least I know now what's coming next. Get over here and help me with that Golden Horseshoe I'm looking for. Franks search was a bust (it was a bust... right, Frank?)

You have GOT to be kidding me man! LOL Does this stuff just fall into your lap or what? I'll bet you can't walk down the street without tripping over an old Spanish coin!
Great job...can't wait to see em all cleaned up AND to see what else you found in your "does coral beep" posts!

Keep it up BVI! The rest of us are just jealous! I'm considering re-locating!

BVI... Sorry, I know that I should have voted Banner before now but I was holding out to see new pics of the coins after some clean up! However, since we at least now know that you found at least 3 Spanish Maravedis minted sometime in the 1730's, I am voting Banner and hope everyone else will do so as well. This is a fantastic cache find that could possibly lead to more Spanish coins that were in the clay pot before it broke or other caches on your friend's property.

At this rate i'll have to open a museum!!!

Wow, so you found a total of 5 coins in the clay pot and they all appear to be Silver Reale pieces unless I am wrong again! Congrats! If this find receives a Banner which it should, the pic showing all 5 coins should probably be used as the Banner pic unless you post another one. If I see them clearly, there is a 1721, a 1736, a 1758, a 1786 and a 1789. Now get back out there and find the rest which are hopefully somewhere near where you found the clay pot or around the foundation you found.

You are like a Spanish silver magnet. Awesome find - can't wait to see if you can recover more of them. Banner vote is in!

 

[BVI Hunter]

if I do find more - this site is where I'll post it!!!

thanks for the vote!

 

[huntsman53]

Dang, you Brits find all of the good old stuff and to make it worse, you don't even live on the big Isle of Britain any longer! By the time you get done, they will have to rename the British Virgin Isles as they will no longer be virgin.

Boy BVI, I go on vacation and you knock it out of the park once again.

This the start of another book or more for the first? I still want an autographed copy

I think I'll re-evaluate where I go next year on vacation.

Banner vote in!

Thanks to everyone all for the continued support.

I feel truly blessed to be amongst so many decent fellow detectorists and happy that we are all able to share each others adventures on such a great forum.
