Old Spanish silver from Ohio must taste twice as sweet.
 
Congrats on a great looking Colonial Silver :thumbsup:
 
Congrats on your first find from the 1700s. Based on the nice condition of your coin, I'll bet it that coin lost in the 1700s too. Most of the Spanish silvers I've found were heavily worn and had clearly circulated for a long time.
 
Excellent. Good. Hope you find a cache!!!

Well done! That feeling never gets old and you’ll be trying to get it back every time out. I hope that property is hiding lots of great finds for you.
 
Wow, that is a great find! I would still be grinning as I relived it over and over. Continued good luck to you.
 
Beautiful silver coin
Congrats
 
That's one ugly dude but one beautiful coin! Congrats on your first 1700's.
 
Congratulations on an amazing oldie!
 
Well done Jim! Congratulations on a very wonderful recovery! Hope its not your last. HH
 
Hey man that’s a beauty. You’ll never forget your first piece of Spanish silver man. Congrats

That’s a good sign that you’re mind was already thinking about more. That’s what pushes us to find more and even better and older. It took me about a year to find my first Spanish. Then I pushed myself to find more. Then I set loftier goals. Why not a 1600s silver. Then that happened (actually 2). Now I want a damn colonial gold coin....then an entire hoard of Mass silvers lol. Ok I’m getting carried away but you get the idea.
