some (spanish) silver ?

[allen]

I was let outside by my beautiful wife for a little bit today
and naturally decided to go detecting, but where, that was
the question?
My first stop at the quarter corner was stopped immediately
by the sight of about 10 police cruisers in the parking lot of
the school.
Second place I wanted to go the owner wasnt home, .
I wasnt too far from my home and saw a farmer working on
a fence and got the nerve to ask him if I could detect and he
bluntly told me NO !
So, I left and still needing to detect I basically made a loop
around the roads and ended up back at the same farm and
for the spite of it I asked if I could detect and he looked at
me and said you are a persistent SOB arent you?
I explained to him my wife only lets me out for an hour
or two a day and he thought that was funny and said, i'll
give you until im done with this fence line to detect.
So off I went and started by finding a bit of clad, square
nails and then a signal that stayed dead on a half dollar at
8+ inches and I was excited about this signal.
I dug my plug and pulled it out and there it was, a big
piece of silver and if im right this is a spanish realle.
Heres a couple of pics of it, and tell me my dream just
came true, please ?

Over the weekend I got to talk to the farmer again
and showed him my "coin" , he said yeah I bought
that junk coin over in Louisville a couple years back
for my grandson who just had to have it !
I loved the way he said "junk" and said his grandson
would lose his head if it wasnt attached lol.
He told me once his field is plowed he will let me
detect again as long as im careful.

When he laughed about it my feelings where hurt,
so nope I didnt offer it to him, but got what I really
wanted, permission to detect his farm again.
My heart was pounding out of my chest, I just knew
i'd finally found something awesome to post on here.
Im staying on the good side of my wifey so she will
"let" me out a couple extra times in this warm weather.
