Please excuse the sideways photos. Uploading from my phone.

Went out yesterday to a promising home site and fields. The fields weren't producing at all so I hit the road in front of the cellar. Pulled put the 1783 half reale which rang up 19-20 on the equinox. It was only 2 inches down. Then feet from it got a fatty Indian that I haven't gotten a date off of yet. 1860 to 64.

Then the other week a couple friends and I were hitting some cellars and I got a hunter or logger coin spill. My first 3 coins were wheaties then I got the silvers underneath. 7 coins total. 3 wheats 2 quarters, a dime and a war nickel.

Good luck out there everybody.

A2 always firat on the scene.

Thank you. I like the max and its def an upgrade fron the ATP. I havent used it since getting my 600 tho. I was gettin erratic responses and put it away. It works well with the 5x8 but the stock coil makes it go haywire.

This equinox isnt perfect but i enjoy its output. The iron signals are a lot less arrogant and the silver is crisp. I dont like the muttled vdi tho with having half the range the max and atp have tho.

Anywaus these last few finds(spill and reale) any machine would have found as they were shallow. Location is #1 in detecting.

Thanks for replting A2. Your comments always kill me with the !!!!!!!!

From your pic , while I cant be certain- it looks like you have no stars under the eagle on the SLQ , which would date it to 1916 or 1917(variety one) Nice Finds !

I had the pleasure of digging a half real a couple of months ago so I know the high it gives. You had a great hunt and I congratulate you on your success [emoji1360]

The half real in my soil hit at 20-21 same as iron nails. Was it a plowed field? At 2 โ€œ it must of just smacked it. My spot produced me 2 bust half dimes and a half real but itโ€™s all mixed in tons on iron. It can really get to you at times because theyโ€™re deeper here do to hurricanes I guess and theyโ€™re iffy to begin with. The problem is the iffy iron falsing sounds and rings up just like a small half silver deep with iron. At 2โ€ I am so so envious.

I got a beautiful AU Ferdinand VII August 11th Iโ€™ve never gotten a Ferdinand before just one other like yours in Spanish 1801. Still havenโ€™t made the 18th century I was so close. And also Iโ€™ve never had a hunt like you had there. Truly amazing [emoji6]

Ive dug in in the iron around cellars but i dont do very well. I get fooled by the falsing on nails just about every time or those blue jeans snaps. Those sound just like a coin in iron with a small pinpoint to boot.

This reale came from the road in front of the home. Thats why it has a few marks and wasnt very deep. Youll hit the 1700s club soon. Im still looking for capped bust anything
