Spanish silver!!!!!!

[mainer]

I have finaly accomplished what I set out to do. About 7 years ago I bought my first metal detector. When my freinds and family asked what I thought I was going to find I told them, I wanted spanish silver. They mainly laughed at me. Well today I have found what I set out to find. A 1774 spanish real. I am so excited right now had to rush home and get a pic to put on for all to see. This is a great place I am at. I have spent about 2 hours here total today. And have found the spanish real. A conn. copper. 4 indians. A methadist pin. A madallion that says with thanks from the american indian children. I think its made of copper and has a thunderbird on it. A very cool find. Going to head back for a bit need some more bug dope to put on. Will post the rest of my finds tonight or tomorrow. Thank you so much for looking and best of luck to you all.
