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.

They were all in a area about 50 foot square. I am thinking it was a money pouch that was lost and tilled up and moved around over the last 300 years!
