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.

Awesome job. I'm beginning to understand that to find the good stuff you pretty much have to dig eveerything.
 

Woah! I wanna hunt with YOU! Congratulations on an awesome list of finds!
 

Excellent find and lesson as usually if it is squirrelly on a target most people would pass it up :)

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.webpAdjustments.webpIMG_1997.webpAdjustments.webp 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
