I just got an AT Pro I went on a hunt. I really didn't know what I was doing. So I got with zaxfire and he gave me some pointers. And I watched utube videos. So I went today with what I learned. I went to a spot I thought I could find some stuff but had alot of iron. I dug this Spanish silver in a pile of iron. Awesome machine. Great first silver!

Heck of a first coin man! I knew you would find your first silver, but man oh man a Freaking Spanish coin..that is an amazing find considering you found it in the park. Beats my oldest coin by 50 or so years. Find some more man! ATPro is a beast!
 
Great First Silver!!! :icon_thumright:

Nice find clf_02!
 
Also guys I had a two piece button I found on this hunt. In terrible shape. Cleaned it enough to identify it and its a Mexican war button here I'm Mississippi. A little more cleaning and I will post pics. Also found a piece of a spur. Pretty good day. That was my first early military button
 
WOW! Congratulations. I've been detecting for about 35-years and have never found Spanish Silver. Wow! :occasion14:
 
awesome find!!!
 
This button is in terrible shape but if you look good you can make out the eagle and stars on front and scov in scoville tomorrow
 
Hard to get good pics of something that bad off
