So to tell the story...I decided to go detecting today down at a park that was built in the 70's. There's an area off to the side where a playground was torn down. Well there is an indentation in the same area that looks to be where a foundation once was, but I could never find any information on it or how old it was. I was using my Whites Eagle Spectrum and I got a dime/penny/quarter signal and it was bouncing back and forth and I decided to dig it and found this. Its pretty worn and you probably wont be able to see any of the writing, but when I look at the legible letters, I can see Caro??? and figured it has to be a Carolus III 1 real by the pictures I've seen. I'm soo pumped! but wish it would be in better condition

Thanks fellas, I'm still wicked pumped. I thought I was never going to find something that old...if it is a 1774 like I think it is, it's the coolest thing I own
