Hour hunt after work gets me a nice cut 1722 spanish silver, couple CW bullets too.

Went out after work today to a spot up the road from work. It's been almost 2 weeks since I been detecting and it was a nice day so I decided to give it a go. I went to a spot where I had been before, but didn't detect it too hard. The grass was tall and hard to swing in. Walking up the hill toward a field I get an extremely bouncy signal, but I was digging all signals that were decent or good on first swing. I put the pro-pointer in the hole and of course it starts going bunkers, but I can't find it. Had to keep shutting it off and turning it back on...anyway, finally got to check the plug and I finally pin-point it and I saw what looked just like a piece of shredded aluminum. Took a better look and CRAP a cut spanish silver! 3 months ago I found my first 1781 spanish half real. Not sure on the date or what type of denomination it is, but I guess it would be about the size of a quarter all pieced together.

On top of that I found 2 spencers, a virginia feeder calf tag, iron buckle and what I thought was a freakin' CS tongue ended up not being that at all. Not sure what it is really. Not bad for a quick hunt I guess. Thanks for looking guys and happy hunting!

Very nice! You got yourself one quarter of a 1722 two reale Pistereen, which equals a half real. I have thought the same thing before when digging a cut Spanish piece - scrap of aluminum :laughing7:

You had a good hunt Matt!!! Not a "piece of 8" but very nice anyway. HH, Quindy.

Nice find on the cut silver. Big coil or little coil?
 
cool finds matt
my first pro pointer gave me trouble and the only solution was to turn it off and on over and over. i sent it in to garrett to get worked on and they sent me back a brand spankin new one. seems to be a problem. new one has been workin great for last 8 months.
something to consider

Thanks. I will consider it. I didn't know if it was the soil conditions or what, but it does get annoying!
