Only one coin in 6 hours in the woods... 1776 1 Reale!

[adventureswithjim]

I was out hammering my favorite colonial woods again...this time trying to do full dig video clips to show folks what's it's really like out there...this site will beat you to death with heavy iron and dense jungle...

I got this tone soft dime VDI, iron grunt, dime, grunt...after I pulled a big hunk of rusty screwed up iron slag then I could finally pin point the other tone. I SOOOOOO thought this was gonna a US silver dime (like a merc dropped by old deer hunters, I find the occasional paper shotgun shell end there too), but when I cleaned it off WOW...1776 reale! Got me all excited for sure...

Here's the vid, if you can stand the pain of endless iron...

One Day, if I make it that way, will you take me out for a copper? great find and rub it all you want.

Very nice find...and entertaining video. I think the buckle you found may be an old sling buckle...same age as your shoe buckle frags.

Super Silver Dig

Congrats on the Reale, nice old silver there man. Way to go

Very nice find...and entertaining video. I think the buckle you found may be an old sling buckle...same age as your shoe buckle frags.

Yep, it's an early one.

And more Spanish.


Question... it seems like most targets are stray finds? Is there not patches or iron to hunt where the houses were? That's where you would clean up.... or have you already done that? Think you're using a small coin so maybe you are in the iron.

Very much patches where the houses were...though somewhat redistributed by the plow...and that's where small coil is cranking them out, in between all the iron bits.
