I Was blessed enough yesterday to dig this 1802 Spanish half reale. It was 6 inches deep and found with the AT Pro. I also found an Indian Wars eagle button and a few bottles. It was truely a great way to end my 14th birthday. image-2303683060.webp

Very nice finds for sure...can,t wait to find my 1st spanish coin.

Keep up the good work...is good to see people your age out detecting...most are stuck on facebook and go into convulsions when then are away from computer devices for more than 1 hour.

Thank y'all! I'd much rather be outside detecting haha.
 
These were also found. Two flat buttons (one not pictured), 1840s flower button, a confederate dropped enfield, an Indian War era eagle button and a old razor handle. A few other misc house items were found. image-921443586.webp image-328990753.webp image-3127287291.webp

I would have to "like" this post several times to show how much I really like this post. I started digging when I was 13. Thought about digging every day of my life since.


Congrats on an EXCELLENT find,

Buck

Haha I know what you mean. I've been detecting since I was 9. Started out with a 1975 bounty hunter big bud haha. Ever since then I wake up thinking about detecting and go to sleep thinking about it. I appreciate the compliment! Thanks
 
Wow, very nice find.
 
Ahhhhh sweet silver , great find Andrew !
 
Congrats to you, young man. Many people never have the chance to find a copper as old as that. Your silver is a great one. I am sure we will see more good finds from you.
