Colonial Gold Coin!

[SouthJerseyJim]

As you all know we've been hitting these Fields of legends for almost 3 years now. Recently they did an ultra deep plow that took weeks to settle . Before the plow the signals were getting very scarce. I concentrated in the back field where most of the 1600s finds came from. Well the finds were still a little scarce but I managed to find another dozen or so buttons some toasted coppers and this sweet little gem. I thought it was cut silver at first but it didn't look right. Tested it on the T2 and a Whites DFX and they came in real low like gold. After an hour so of research I think it is a 1780ish Portuguese Reis. My first gold coin. And old to boot! Thanks for looking.

Sorry Jim, I had just read Bill's reply and the name came out wrong. Excellent cut gold, not one you see ever.

Maybe you're on the trail of a potential long lost hoard of gold buried deep underground

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

UnderMiner wouldn't that be something?

That's an amazing find. I'd love to see something like that glimmer at me from the dirt. Congrats!

That's amazing. Cut or not, to dig something that old--and gold--I bet that's a high you don't easily come down from.

Congrats,

Buck
