OMG! Look what I found! A spanish silver!

Today, We were out in this cornfield and There was a house there in 1868 but the house didnt stay up for long. When we got there, I started out to the cornfield while my dad,my uncle, and my other friend were staying in the front of the cornfield. There was this hump in the cornfield and I went straight to it. Next thing you know, I got a 81 signal extremely loud on my Garrett AT Pro. I started digging and I knew this one was going to be good! I started digging and I Take out my pinpointer and move around in the dirt pile from the hole. All I saw was the silver rounding and I was like OMG! I was like oh man, whats this going to be? I pulled it out and It was a 1768 Spanish Silver 1/2 reale. It was my first spanish reale ever in my entire life. Then, I keep detecting. DING DING DING again! It was a 79-81 on my AT Pro. So, I started digging it and this one I did the same thing where the coin was in the dirt i dug up and all I see is half of it after I pinpointed it. Then I pulled it out of the hole and It said 1758. It turned out that the coin was from the netherlands! I was so psyched out today that both of those signals were coins and Also I got some flat buttons,1 cufflink, and some other special things. I feel bad that none of the other guys found any coins. I was the only one who found coins.

Here are the pictures:

Very cool, good thinking going to the hump!
 

Congratulations and welcome to the 1700's club! That's a great find
 

Would this be worthy enough to get banner? Do any of you know?
