Hello All,

Got out once on my own and once with Shang and we each got a Spanish silver for the total. Our next Spanish will be the 80th one we've dug in Louisiana. Here's the video:




Shangum's coin was a 1786. Neat that in spite of it being so worn the date was so clear.

Mine was a nice silver dessert on the end of a very long day where I'd dug for 8 hours with only one intact and one broken tombac button to show for it. Was a relief to walk up on this:

An 1807 Half Real with a lot of detail. :headbang:


Cheers,

Stunning half real man! I need to catch up on your videos and post from the last couple hunts. Looks like you guys are killing it though. Really great to see you guys getting out so we get to enjoy some awesome posts. :occasion14:
 

Two Spanish in one day!? i'll take that any day...congrats!
 

This past hunt was great (video should still be up near the top of Today's Finds), and of course the banner find GW button from February I still can hardly believe. Looks like things are going well in your neck of the woods too! It's time to get the water jugs and icy rags on the backs of the necks here. Gonna be a hot summer I fear.

Those tiny silvers got worn down so quickly in circulation. The 1807 is actually the nicest Half Real I've ever dug. Was super stoked to get that one!

Cheers,

Buck

1807 is STUNNING! Way to go!
 

Congratulations on those nice Spanish silvers! HH
 

Nice finds! And good to see you're still at it. Feels like I've been away from MD'ing way to long. :)

It's never too late to get digging again!

Thanks for the reply my friend!

Best Wishes,

Congrats to you and Shangoggle!

You gents give us regular schlubs a look into what real deal looks like, and we thank you.

Best of luck on your next adventure sir.
 

Complete washed out! So cool! I absolutely love the moments when you spot the rim of a coin laying on top. Finding a coin like this with only a small spike of soil under it is a moment you have to enjoy! Next rain it had tipped over.... :headbang: Congrats to you both and good luck with #80 next time!

Agreed, got 2 new permissions so far this year. Approx 3 more to go! It's gonna be a good one.
Keep at it budd!
 

Great job guys. Not many better feelings than unearthing an early silver coin. You can have 7 hours of suck and that one moment makes it a great day. Crazy hobby man....yes I said "7 hours of suck" lol
