Took 2 days off work & boy were they worth it. Took a drive to a small town I had never been to before. Found the grade school & park both of which only gave up some clads. I looked up the road & spotted an old 2 story farm house, & could see the farmer loading grain in his truck out back. I thought "what the heck" & drove up the road to ask permission. The house was vacant, but he still owned the property & gave me the green light without hesitation. Yesterdays hunt produced the '42 Merc, No date Standing Liberty Quarter, Ring, Tootsie Toy Flyer, & Israeli 1 Agora. Had to go back today to see what was left & am I ever glad I did. Todays finds were the 2 earings, Daisy cap gun, Bilikin Shoe polish container, "good for 1 beer token", & yes, my very first Spanish 1/2 Reale an 1820. Was that ever a rush pulling that one out of the ground. All I could tell is that it was Spanish until I got home & put a magnifier on it. This coin also beats my previous old coin by 14 years. That one was an 1834 British Six Pence. The farmer was also a great wealth of information on local history ( he was 75 yrs. old ) & I will be going back to this town soon. Great hunting to all.
