First hunt of march! A Un-Reale find!! 8 that is!

I just got back from vacation to almost all the snow gone . The next couple of days are supposed to be real crappy and cold so I figured my last day,I'd go out. I hit the same area as a few weeks ago. Either I know what I'm doing now or I just sucked before . Anyway I spent 2 hours and gridded a 10 X 4 area. Everyone of these hits were mixed in with iron and sounded bad until I moved the dirt. The first 2 hits were both thimbles in good shape! I've never dug 2 before so right there ,I was a happy camper. The next hit I had a semi- heart attack because I saw gold in the hole. It was a gold Gilt button that still had leather attached!!View attachment 1557661View attachment 1557662View attachment 1557663. The next hit was a beautiful pewter spoon handleView attachment 1557664View attachment 1557665I'm going to have to search this area real hard,I want to find the rest! Last hit was the killer! I had all sorts of metal around it and I'm lucky I didn't give up but here it is,from 9 inches deep,boys and girls- A 1795 8 Reale .Under my loupe ,I can see the mark of Bolivia. I decided time to go ��

I’ve found two large “Spanish dollar” sized silver coins, and both left me in shock. Remembering my own crazy reactions, I could only imagine your excitement uncovering such a large beautiful coin. Congrats on a game changer.

Sweet Spanish Silver,,
Congratulations

Thanks!

Holy crap dude!!!! An 8 Reale is at the top of my bucket list!!!! Even at 9 inches that probably was a very loud signal

It was only loud in one direction. It was on its edge with nails around it. I was getting multiple tones with every swing. I wonder if this was in a wall or someone and when the walls disintegrated, it fell out?

Great find! 8R is the big find for Spanish silver!

 

[Mr. Digger]

Welcome to the 8R club! Awesome coin. The one I found is just like that one but from 1806. Such an amazing coin. Very cool that yours is from Bolivia. Congrats!

I've never found Spanish Silver in 40-years of detecting. CONGRATULATIONS!

this is my 3 piece but definitely the biggest and best! When I started, I never thought I’d find one!
