Outing Ends on a High Note with an 1800 Half Reale!

[West Jersey Detecting]

I got out today to my favorite site. I hit button after button, but there were no coins...that is until I was about to pack it in, when I got a strong signal between a penny and a pull-tab at 5 inches. It was a strong signal, not typical of the coins at this site, so I was thinking I would be ending with a pull-tab.

Much to my surprise, it turned out to be a coin. I suspected it would be another half reale, but it wasn't until I got home and soaked it that I knew for sure.

I also dug what I originally thought was junk, but it appears to be colonial silver. I have never seen anything like it so hopefully someone recognizes it.

I think the video sums it up better than any story so check it out!

Great hunt. I like the way you blended that video. Button,button,button another button and pow silver. Well done.

Don't know what that silver thingy is, but I'd bet it could be identified by someone. What I do know is that that half real was a cufflink or button at one time. Great finds!


Cheers,


Buck

The Spanish Coin was converted to a button/cufflink & the shank broke off. (PS. noticed BB got in first)

The silver piece is interesting

Good Day !

I like the videos that move along, not 10 minutes on one find. Who has the patience for that.

Thanks Rick!

I always keep that in mind when I edit them down. Even three minutes of watching one find can be torture!

Unless I am making a field test or other demo type of video, I usually keep them under 3 minutes.

Neil great stuff! Looks like the colonial silver is flowing in SJ. Guess you can forget all about that V3 now eh? :-D

Neil you are killing it this season! Looks like I should have joined you on your last outing after all (I didnt find anything at my field). Congrats!!!

Great finds! The fact that the coin may have been used as a button makes it more interesting.

Great vid Neil!! I think the reale turned into a button makes it that much more personal.. CONGRATS.. HH

I'm liking the T2 for my colonial sites, but the V3i is miles ahead when it comes to target ID. I prefer it at sites where there are aluminum twist offs and crown bottle caps.
