One of my best colonial hunts ever including a cob spill!

[toasted]

Got back to where I found my 2 reales cob about three weeks ago. Wasnt finding much in that immediate area other than the early lead/pewter button. So I spread out and wasnt finding much but scrap lead/pewter pieces until I got a beautiful signal that turned out to be a nearly perfectly preserved complete circa 1690-1720 lead/pewter buckle Happy with that, I headed back to the area where the cob came from in preparation to go home. I got a very faint high tone practically right on top of where the previous cob came from. Out popped a thick 4.5 gram cut cob from Mexico. Rescanned the hole and got an even sweeter tone. A 9.5 gram 1656? Potosi 4 Reales cob The 4 appears to have been counterstamped too so any info on that appreciated too.

BANNER! That is incredible

Never seen a cob spill before! Super cool. And Banner!

Thanks for the votes but I think my most recent banner prevents me from getting another so soon. It will be hard to top a spill of a 2 and a 4 Reales cobs though but Ill keep trying.

Thanks and good luck. Probably harder were your at. Ive got 19 now, mostly small ones, so a big 4 reales was definitely a welcomed surprise

Thanks. Id say you probably have a piece of a Portuguese counterstamped 8 reales. Would love to see a pic of it or any other cobs you may have

Late in sending my reply, but at least I'll get these awesome finds back on page 1. Two cobs in the same hole!!! Now that's serious detecting.

Thanks. Not only two cobs in one hole but my two biggest cobs in one hole.
