Last Minute Find!

[weeksottumwa]

We had decided to call it a day, and were literally feet from the edge of the corn field we were hunting, when I got a solid coin signal. Usually in this field that meant a ball of kettle brass or something similar. The light was gone when I dug the signal so I was operating by feel as I pulled a triangle shaped piece from the ground. I was excited, thinking I'd found a piece of trade silver from the fur trade era. Pulling out my mini mag I saw that the piece was decorated and was even more excited. That was when I saw the "03" and realized that I had a wedge of silver coin. It was a cut piece of an 1803 8 Piece Reale. This is my oldest and most unique coin find to date!

very cool find. Gotta love those twilight finds where you can't see and are feeling through the dirt.

That one is unique, unique because it was done in such a sloppy way either misjudging and correcting, or just missing the spot he had started.

What an exciting find for anyone, let alone finding it in Iowa!

It's a good thing for us MDers that the sun goes down. Otherwise we would MD till we die, like bloodhounds. "I'm just gonna dig one more target..."

Congratulations!
