Went down to my favorite Treasure Coin Beach in NJ with my Garrett AT Pro which I just got back from Garrett for repair. I arrived and saw that the beach was deeply cut down about 6 foot. I only went about 20 steps and the AT Pro sounded loudly and showed 93 on the Target ID. I dug down with my sand scoop and pulled out a 1777 8 Reale Spanish Coin. :hello2:

I mounted my Canon Power Shot SX200IS 12.1 Mega Pixel mounted on a small plastic Eddie Bauer Tripod with attached velco strap. I also used another velcro wire wrap at the lower end. I attached it to the upper end of the stem under the coil wire. It holds very well..

Wow amazing. Only hope someday I can find something this old.
 

That Beach will humble you in minutes. I to found some down there this year. There are other beaches yielding Reales in New Jersey. Alot of shipwrecks up down the Atlantic coast line.
 

I doesn't get much better than that congrats! :icon_pirat:
 

What a cool find, I found mine at an old home place, 1795 congrates
 

Awesome save, and you caught it on video!!! :headbang:
 

Congratulations,

That one has a lot of character.
 

Awesome find. Congrats. Very nice find
 

Dream find!!!
 

There is no other feeling like finding those Reales! Nice! Congrats!
 

I think I would be yelling or woo-hooing or making similar loud, wild noises.

Nice dig. That Garrett AT Pro finds some pretty amazingly understated finds!
