Spanish silver triple play!

[RelicMedic]

Back to the navy button hole for another morning dig. I decided to focus on the mound that used to me the house site. Man am I ever glad I did!! I dug a few crusty coppers and some tombac buttons. They are all plain unfortunately. Now, for the silver. The first signal was a weird one. First target out of the hole was a homemade fishing sinker, then a nail, then a 1738 one reale! Next up was a nice 1758 2 reales, again, shrouded with iron. Finally, I got a beautiful clean tone under a dead tree. Out pops a 1774 2 reales!!! This is my second best Spanish hunt ever! Can't wait to go back and dig some more.

As promised, the video is up.

Seen the video. Nice one. I forgot to mention that you almost beat me with your oldest date at 1738. My oldest silver and oldest coin find yet is 1737! [emoji27][emoji16]

your pistareens were very popular in Canada at the time, as were a whole bunch of other coins as well.

My hat is off to you RM, and I am bowing deeply at the waist. I have been detecting for 40+ years. I've found three gold coins; gold nuggets; silver nuggets; silver coins - but I have yet to find a piece of Spanish Silver. It is my "White Whale."

Congratulations!

That's crazy that you haven't found Spanish silver yet! Especially being in New York. This year will be your year to find it...god knows you've pretty much found everything there is to find lol. 40 years! Wow! I'd say that puts you at the top of the seniority list haha
