saweeet 1777 spanish half reale

[wwwtimmcp]

it was getting late today so I started heading back in to shore and got a very faint hit on the pulse 8x
I decided to dig anyway and after moving a large flat rock and digging 4" into the lake bed out pops my oldest coin ever a beautifull 1777 spanish half reale. I did my underwater happy dance and said my 3 prayers twice just to be safe. plus I got 2 colonial era buttons, and my usual sinkers .

happy hunting to all.

Great coin! With that said am I the only one on here that it bugs
the h@|| out of not to at least know what state someone is hunting
in? Hey look what I found somewhere at an unknown location on the
planet earth. I live in Charlotte, N.C. I find most of my stuff in
Charlotte, N.C. If I find it elsewhere, I tell everyone where that was.
I found a large cent last year. I pinpointed where I found it. I found a
meteorite, I pinpointed where I found it. At least give a state unless
you are in the witness protection plan.

I'll hush now,

LMAO!

The only tips I can think of are to use natural light (daylight) in a sunny spot and make sure you use the Macro function on the camera (the flower icon thingy).

That's a great find! Most of the half reals I have found are all beaten up, cut, and worn down into oblivion. It is Darned hard to get one that looks that good.


Well done,



Buck

I agree 101% !! I would like to at least know which state a find was found in ! People will post and meantion a landmark or area in their found post but not have the state they're from in their vital statistics ! Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I happen to be in the WRP and I still put the state I'm in.

BTW that truly is a 'saweeet' 1777 .5 reale CoNgRaTs ( I took of my glasses and I could see it clearly )
