OMG! King George II showed up. AGAIN!

Yeasty · May 31, 2009

Today I returned to the same site where I found my first KG II a couple weeks ago. After about an hour I found an undateable wheaty and a .75 caliber round musket ball with a nice white patina. As I proceeded westward I came across what sounded and indicated a deep zinc cent. Well, being bored, I decided to dig it up just to look at it. LO AND BEHOLD!! At 5" I see a big disk, thinner than a LC! Just like the last time I sat there, stunned. I put it into the padded pill bottle, got it home, and put it into the ultra-sonic cleaner. Well, as you can see, theres a significant gouge on the bust side. It must have come from a nearby sharp stone as I know the Lesche got nowwhere near it. Miss Brittania is a little more evident on this one but still no date.
Oh Well. There's gotta be some Reales in there somewhere nearby, and I'm the guy who can find them!
I love this hobby!

Nice going on the KGII. If it is a thin one, it is most likely a counterfeit. I have found a bunch of undated ones just like that. Many times they are bent.

I am in the same boat as you with the reales. I am digging plenty of copper, but that little silver coin has evaded me.

Good luck finding yours!

I have many reales but only one in the last 2-3 years. It's one of those things that can hide real well but as long as you're digging some oldiers one will turn up. Usually by the time it does it doesn't even matter what it is, because it's still success!
