My first silver coin!

[clf_02]

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!

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
