Detector(s) used
Minelab CTX 3030, Minelab E-Trac w/Sunray probe and 15' WoTcoil.
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Let me start by saying, if the two guys who were metal detecting in East Bridgewater today read this, if I ever catch you leaving holes like this again, I'm going to wrap my detector around your throats! >:( I took a photo of the hole one of them left. As you can see, they left the trash on the top as well. As I walked the field the place was full of this type of crap. I'd go over there holes and pull their trash out. Lucky for me, I re-scanned one after taking out some foil and managed copper #26 for the year (pictured below). Not sure what it is. Afterwards I went out with a buddy looking for some Native American artifacts but we came up short and decided to go home. Passed a field that had a small section freshly plowed. After a few minutes I decided it was getting late and swung my way back to the car when I found the Reale. It was on the surface!!!! The rest of the stuff is from the past week of detecting.

If anyone can date that Quartermaster insignia I would appreciate it. I had someone look at it and he believes it's pre-ww1.

Great finds & nice job on the 1717 Spanish Silver.
 
@Herbie: I believe it's a marble? Not sure. ???
 
The pistareen is great - but the hunt as a whole looks like it was outstanding! Nice variety of finds. :thumbsup:
 
I love when I get the chance to catch punk pirates not filling their holes or taking the trash...Being a bouncer I know how to look a bit intimidating when I need to and they usually leave or change their habits real quick.... congrats on the nice finds cant wait to get my first Reale
 
good hunt! I like the bell!
 
It is very difficult to find a coin with two Reale of King Felipe V in USA! :o ..I only find one in the past three years.
