Went back to a colonial house site today that I’ve hit hard over the last year. I wasn’t expecting much but I decided to work the iron patch where the house once sat, very slow. That turned out to be the right decision because I found two early buttons, a 1777 one Reale and a 17?? two Reale. This spot has produced 4 early silvers, 5 large cents and a half cent along with probably 70 flat buttons. Guess no place is dug out.😉

Two Spanish silvers in one hunt is quite spectacular! "Low and slow" seems like the right recipe for success. Major congrats!
 
Wow ... one would have made for a great day - you had a fantastic day - congrats ! :hello2:
I have to agree, I’ve never dug two reales in the same hunt before, thank you!
 
They sure do, but I suspect a lot of people move through them fast.
I can leave an iron patch for a few years. Then go back and gives a few more items.
Combination of factors, detector, frost, discing, weather.
 
Congrats on the awesome old Silvers!!!
