Iron Patch and I got out for day two of our 5 day detecting marathon. Yesterday I dug the Royal Artillery cross belt plate and today I managed a 1720's Spanish silver. It is well worn as you can see but easily identified. It is a 2 reale Pistareen. I also found what could be the oldest silver coin I have found but it is not ready to be photographed...needs a little TLC. Thanks for looking!

Nah! ;D
 

nice again! did you get the buckle straightened out? would like to see it cleaned up?
 

LOL, IP is a great host !!!! LOL Good going on the old Spanish 2 Reale, that is a goodie, especially for so far up north! Maybe IP will get a rare button tomorrow, since you have found the buckle and coin, now it is time for a good button....... :wink:

We identified the other silver find I made yesterday...it is a French colonial 15 Deniers...but it is so worn I will never be able to capture detail to post. It is 1690s so it is officially my oldest silver and oldest coin to date!

We are on our way out the door for day 3 of this detecting marathon...be back in about 14 hours to post results.
 

Hola! Nice silver!
 

very nice spot you found. can't wait to see what else you guys pull from that area.
