Diggergirl Hit it Big Today: CaneField Bandit Hunt

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

I got out in the cane fields with Shanegalang and Diggergirl today. We have been a little disheartened about getting farther and farther away from our Colonial hotspot, but I have figured that as long as there are still occasional buttons dug, any of those could really be anything--military buttons, coins, etc. So we keep working out, continuing the grid, and having faith.

Well it took a while but Diggergirl pulled through with the skunking she always seems to deliver us boys. After a long day of digging, with a few flat buttons and pipe stems found, Diggergirl announced she had a coin. It turned out to be the NINTH Spanish Silver from this massive field:








She requested that I post the great find today since she hasn't been too active on the forum recently, and really wanted some replies.

Here are her and my combined finds for the day:





The coin is either an 1800 or 1808 Carolus IIII Half Real. It has been damaged by the burning of the cane fields each year, but it is still a killer find.






Congrats, Diggergirl, on digging your oldest coin! Such a pleasure to hunt with you today. 8)





Best Wishes,



Buckles

That's an interesting site. Those pottery shards span a wide range of time. Please pass on my congrats to Diggergirl for scoring a nice peice of history with that spanish silver.

Alright Congratulations to DiggerGirl! I tell you, that field has given up a Lion's share of

Spanish and is still producing. That is a wonderful site Will, sites like these are always such a pleasure to

work, especially after doing all the work to find them and gain permission, it feels like a little slice of victory

each time another nice piece comes up out of the ground like that. Congratulations to the both of you

Cordially,

Josh
