Winter Solstice Spanish Silver

[Scrappy]

I almost didn’t go today after work because I only had an hour before dark. After holiday traffic and forgetting my earphones at the truck, I had 40 minutes...

I’ve taken lots of friends to this site and have pounded it thoroughly. Through time we’ve found British, State, and large US coppers, as well as US silver dating to the 1830’s. The early back-to-back snowfalls had flattened the dead weeds and conditions here were ideal. I’m a small section I managed a couple buttons and a chape frag, and this Spanish 1 reale.








Happy Winter Solstice everyone!! The sun is currently 23 degrees 20 degrees south of the equator but its heading north. The days will be getting longer from now on...

But the cold continues. Good hunts

Steve

Well done buddy. I winced when I saw the pictures this afternoon. It’s really nice, lots of detail. Ouch.

I wish you a merry solstice!

Great Solstice surprise Steve! There's just something about those Spanish silver coins that makes your heart pumping like crazy when you pull them out of the ground.
I'm glad to see that you're still able to hunt. For me to extract anything from the ground at this point I would sure need some dynamite

Congratulations on the very successful hunt and good luck on the future ones.

Tom. Next time you guys come up, perhaps we can beat this place up for a little while. It takes some work but there’s plenty in there I suspect. Cheers

I actually thought of you boys up north during my short hunt today. I went here not expecting much, but I said to myself that I’d better enjoy this because those fellas up north are SOL, and I will be soon, too. Hang in Anton, soon enough spring will be here and you’ll be making everyone nauseous again with your unbelievable finds.

THat's a easy one to remember what day you got it, congrats on the silver. Merry solstice Scrappy may the digging out on the other side of the cold darkness feel short.

Absolutely awesome! That's one beauty of a coin, great detail. You guys pluck them out of the ground like potatoes...but, i know the secret-location, location, location. Congrats on the great save, Scrap. Enjoy..Ddf.
