Minelab E-Trac, Minelab GPX-4800, Teknetics T2 SE
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
I got out today with a few of my detecting buddies. We decided to hit a spot that has produced a litte over the years. Last year I found a clipped two reale here and my buddy got a 1757 two reale complete. We were there for about three hours and I hadent really found anything, they had a coupld flat buttons and misc brass...so we decided to change locations on the property. We were briskly walking and swinging and I got a solid hit on the T2, it was a sweet signal. I dug not even 2 inches and out pops an 1834 8 Reales!!

I never thought I would find an 8 reales, i was/am pumped!!!!

Nice find, that had to be a real thrill to dig!
 
WoW! Great find!

Don't worry, those who are concerned about their numismatic values on their OWN collections are perfectly safe. No one here trying to cause their values to go down by finding more of their exceptionally "rare" pieces of eight. ;) (OH! Yeah, someone's found one BUT it ain't worth nuthin', he "CLEANED" it. LOL ;) )

HH!

...not really my point....I am not about numismatic value either,but I am also not about destroying a rare artifact and removing any value that my family may glean if I were to tip over dead tomorrow,but to each his own
 
I'd be pumped too. That's amazing.
