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.

Unbelievable- what a find!! Huge Congrats for sticking with it through all the nails and saving that beauty!

Underneath all this beautiful green grass is Louisiana Clay, white shells, bricks and roots. Big Red brakes through everything the ground throws at me. I’m blessed [emoji1317]
 

I am so happy for you I know how much this hobby means to you for all kinds of reasons and to me also. Great job that is really cool time to rip into that spot my friend. Keep em coming and for you and your Family stay safe be careful also. Tommy
 

Nice find - you knew it was there! Heck yeah! I detected a roadside green space I have driven by maybe... 2000 times, and it was not hot. Glad your spot worked out!

What a blessing indeed Finally lady luck was on my side
