Thinking I found that site! Amazing what walking across the road will do for you. Thought I was gonna pop them out one after another as the copper was the second find of the day and the spanish was the 4th, in about 5 minutes. Copper is a 1723 George I Hibernia and the only thing readable so far on the silver is hispaniarum and possibly an 8. I previously found an early US large cent in another section of this field.

Found this tool of sorts, looks like a scraper on one end and a pick at the other. Handmade and about 4.5 inches long.

And here's the other stuff. ox shoe, brass and copper junk, some fired/melted lead etc.

Great coins. I think the spanish is too small to be an 8 reale. Not positive though. IP will be along shortly Im sure. Great finds. :thumbsup:
 

It's likely a 1 real, based on size. I think there's an 8 in the date :)
 

Now we're talkin!!! :thumbsup: I've yet to find one of those early Irish.

Tomorrow Romeo are off to dig. I have many good ideas and don't even know where to start, but finally did decide on my final plan. :headbang: Sunday night I hope to have a post!
 

Sorry Hunthicks, I read that wrong. Nice find, you got IP juices flowing! :thumbsup:

If it's anything like usual, it'll be quite the post no doubt! I thought the copper was a George III n the field, nice to know though it does fit the time frame I expected for the area!

I might be sorry I said this, but..... It's the most prepared I've ever been going into a hunt!

WTG hunthicks...you were due some goodies, likely just a taste of what is yet to come... was that the field close to where the judge lost that ring??
 

Nope, this was the one we parked at on the way back on our last hunt last fall, but the grass was too high so we didn't bother stopping. Top end of the field is pretty junky but I found the goodies at the bottom end. I'd say there were a couple buildings there at least by the iron.
Was nice to see that silver pop up, and to get a copper with a date! With any luck they'll plow this one sometime this year!
 

Very C8) 8) L finds !!
 

nice score on the old silver ;D MR TUFF
 

Way to go man!. The Hibernia is a beauty, and its great that you were able to get a date on it. And what can I say about the spanish except that you certainly deserve it. Your on the right spot and I have no doubt their will be more silver to come.
