Colonial hunt with Del - SILVER again!!

[coinnut]

Went out on our usual Saturday relic hunt . We start early and usually get to the site with sun up. We weren't sure where to go, so we went to 2 holes that are close to each other. One was where Del found his hat plate (It likes Dan lol) and the other hole was where I got 7 coppers and the 1849 O Seated Dime (It likes me rofl) So Dan went to his site and I went to mine. I was going to start real slow with the 5 coil and try and score some buttons. But first, I usually wander a bit with the stock 11 coil. I settled in an area just above where I found the dime. It is a small pen between the cellar hole and barn. I only found 1 flat button in an hours hunting :dontknow: Finally I got another scratchy button reading. It was against a main root of a good size tree. Since targets were sparse, I was gonna dig it no matter what lol I removed the leaf litter and about 1 of dirt and hit a solid maze of large roots. Maybe I won't dig it after all rofl So as a last ditch effort, I ran the probe in the hole to see what the signal now read. I was shocked to see 12-46, 13-45, 12-45 solid :drool: :drool: Now I have to dig it. 8/ Took about 20 minutes and a couple of different tools lol but I managed to pry some dirt out and I saw a silver edge of a coin :shocked04: :shocked04: :happydance01: I took some shots with the GPS camera but they are not the best. I couldn't believe I got silver, 2 times in a row. This is one coin of my wish list - a Spanish 1 Reale 1782. Rest of the day was normal and did get a nice decorated early 2 pc button and a Eagle button thumbsup01 Also found some of the smallest rivets I have ever seen. Pictured next to a 22 long shell casing for size. It was a good day detecting today :)

George.... NICE! Silver is always great.... 1800's silver is super sweet... 1700's silver... Priceless! :omg:

[RobW]

:shocked04:, Yes it is true, that site does love you. What I find amazing is how calm you are when you find something good. When you found that other silver last week when we were out, you showed it to me very nonchalatly.....me...well I'd be screaming like a little school girl :cheering:... lol

Congrats on that reale! :clapping:

[Civil War Nut]

Oh man aren't you glad you didn't give up on that one!!!

I have to admit I gave up on a good signal once, due to compact root system :cheesysmile: Hmmmm :thinkingabout: maybe I should go back there? lol I remember the spot...

:perfect10: CONGRATS George!!!
