(**Video**) Two Bits! 17** Cut Spanish Silver!!

[KYshooter]

This was my big "non-Civil War" find of the day.

My oldest coin to date, and my oldest silver (obviously).

It is a beautiful, thick, heavy "two bits" 1/4/ cut of a Spanish 8 Reale! It was pretty new when it was cut. Lots of detail. The edging is very clear. This is my very first Spanish silver, and it's cut!!

It gave a perfect 83-84 VDI ... I thought I was digging a Seated Quarter.

Here are the pics ...

And check out this edge ...

This is silver coin #5 for me this year. My "youngest" so far has been an 1893-O Barber Dime. I'm actually going back in time!!

Here's the video of this and my other finds. Be sure to subscribe to my future videos. Thanks for looking!

Very nice!!!!!!!Keep at the site

I'll keep going as long as Digger lets me.

But now it looks like I have another CW site to hunt ( http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,384215.0.html ), so it all adds up for a good swap.

Congratulations on your first cut Spanish silver! They are really neat relics to find.
