Would love some digger details. I run a Garrett AT Pro, and since this is my first time having a Garrett...details on depth, where on signal, etc. Thanks and super congrats!
 

Alot of questions on location. This was a field in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. The field had been plowed some time ago, we had alot of hits on hammered nails, however we werent able to pin down a house site. The coin was a hard hit on the equinox 800. After digging i was still getting something in the hole, after digging another ft down i dug part of a t-post. So this coin had to travel as a result of the plow. The coin was about 4 inches down and rang up a high 20 on the equinox. As for location, the area has a rich history of early colonists being in the area
 

Real nice find. Congratulations on a terrific first Spanish silver.

Keep swingin.
 

Wow, it’s in great shape. Well done! That’s a dream find for me.
 

Very nice piece!
 

That beautiful Spanish we get a lot of Spanish here in Louisiana but not much pistareens. Big congratulations gotta love the Spanish [emoji3590]

Amazing coin, in amazing shape! My first (and only) Spanish was a half-pistareen just like yours. Mine was minted in Madrid, Spain.

I gotta say, the details on that thing are fantastic! I'm jealous of your denticles. :laughing7:

Now go back and find more!
 

Amazing condition - and SUPER OLD too!
 

Beautiful coin
