I drove to NOLA and the parks were filled with people nobody’s worring about the virus apparently, so I drive along the bayou and came across a grassy field that I’ve driven pass a thousand times but it was just cut so I stopped. I was surprised to see a lot of iron square nails, white shells and brick in the clay. It was hard digging but what the hell. My first find was a brass thing I thought interesting then 1897 V nickel very interesting I was freaking out. Then I found a 1926 buffalo. So I came across more iron square nails which were falsing in the low 20’s. Then I hit a spot where it was falsing all over the place but this one had some 30’s mixed in there. Thank God I dig everything. After pulling out about eight square nails I saw what looked like a Mardi Gras doubloon and then i picked it up and looked and fell on my back laughing like a school girl. Here it is in all it’s glory a 1809 8 reales in flawless condition. Unbelievable day to break my 3 month curse. Thank you for sharing in my glory.

Alright truth....I think you should start rereading your posts....I believe you had a plan for your big 8 !!http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/558732-1778-spanish-8-reales-3.html#post5600011


It’s my 2nd 8 Reales. I just didn’t like that particular Mexican 8 Reale to showcase So I just found another one easy is that LOL Adjustments.jpg Adjustments.jpg IMG_1997.jpg Adjustments.jpg now my problem is this one is too great for me risking it hanging around my neck,So I’m going to look for another one that’s in between very soon
