Cut Silver Spanish 8 Reales, Bullseye Rosette on Hunt with Dman & Tenn. Digger

[VOL1266-X]

Doug & I teamed up with our friend Tenn. Digger (Donnie Vaughn) to search some late 1700s pioneer sites in Tennessee. Donnie has done extensive research on the area where we wanted to search and has documentation that a large Union camp was in the general vicinity. We had our usual fun time as you can see in the video but the lost Yankee camp is still lost-LOL.
Donnie’s best find was a brass Bullseye bridle rosette and this one had the attachment hook intact. He also dug a RR button, fired ball, watering bit, and part of an old clock. Doug recovered a 1917 Wheatie, eyeballed some 1700 period pottery chards (he always does), parasol tip, & a harmonica reed. I was lucky to dig another cut silver Spanish 8 Reale piece likely from the 1700s (no date this time), brass drawer pull, large brass watch key, & hoof pick.
Good weather, good friends, & decent finds made for a memorable day in the field. HH from Donnie, Doug, & Q.
When I dug the cut silver, I thought I was back in Louisiana with Buckleboy, Molly, & Shane-LOL.

Thanks for looking & the replies everyone. We will endeavor to keep our friends up north like OD & Steve of PA entertained until the weather is more conducive to hunting. Thanks Donnie, Doug, & Q.

BTW, the way, Josh dug a nice iron stirrup this weekend. Hopefully, he can get back to do more hunting with us soon.

Thanks Dawg & CP. Two cut silvers since I started detecting in 1995 for as many times as I've hunted=scarce, for me anyway. HH, Q.

That hoe is in incredible shape. I found a hoe like it in very bad shape on a hilltop in Kentucky 2 years ago, and when I showed it to my Mother, she said they called them " eye " hoes. Have you ever heard them called that?

I wish my Ho looked that good.
