First and foremost I like to thank louisianaman for the invite to a permission it was old ground from 1723 next to the Mississippi River. The problem was we only had a hour and it was a hour away but the humidity was low so off we went then to the Fort. Now we get there and we knew we had to read the ground fast got a whole piece of black glass piece of lead then I hit a jar lid with the ceramic inside and then I got the same signal at 2 inches down and I dug it BAM! 1805 Carolus IIII 8 Reales so lucky Beautiful details minor wear this makes my 3rd 8 Reales in the 6 years I?ve been detecting [emoji256] [emoji1317][emoji256] IMG_3292.webp

Well Truth, you did it again! Another great spanish coin, congrats brother!
 
I thought I remembered you posting an 8R not that long ago, but I see from the thread that you have found 3 of them. That's crazy. This one is a beauty! Congrats!

Hey Lost Signal you got a good memory I found one I believe either last year or early this year you can see it on my banner. Truly blessed it just shows you that they?re still out there.
