🥇 BANNER Spanish silver hoard!

[gigmaster]

My friend Buddy and I stumbled on a spill of 1700’s spanish coins. I dug 17 cut reales and Buddy dug 5 for a total of 22 in 2 days. We also dug buttons, buckles and more. The second pic shows the three cut pieces of eight that I found. i dont think we will be beating that anytime soon! For the videos check out gigmaster on youtube.

I couldn’t fathom finding one, and now I probably never will, since you and Buddy found them all!

Amazing. Do any of them match up as part of the same coin?

That's what the detecting dreams are made of. Congratulations and banner!

Definitely a BANNER worthy find!
Some in-situ pics and a background history of the site would also be nice too.

I'm a big fan of Spanish silver and that is a really special find. The fact that all of them were cut pieces and none were complete coins shows just how common cut silver coins were in south east VA. This is Banner and my vote is going in now.

That’s the only area I’ve (personally) found cut silver. In the Northeast I’ve only gotten whole Spanish silvers. Absolutely incredible!!!

That's insane! What a dream site and hunt! I would love to find one piece of cut Spanish silver. Must have been a merchant/trade site?

One word: OMG (actually its three but who's counting!?) This is incredible. I'm voting banner. If we could get some info like date ranges / coin info that would be awesome!
