i decided to get out today even though it was cold and im glad i did.
decide to hit a park that i found a 1754 half real on last year and a beat up 1 real the year before.
i started on the grass but then noticed in the distance a bit that they have plowed/scraped so i decided to hit that instead.
after 2 minuets i get a screaming 81 on the AT pro at 1 inch, now normally that would mean a copper penny but with the new NEL tornado coil the numbers are coming up different so i dug it and WOW.... im glad i did.
lady's and gentlefolk ... my oldest silver to date !!!! 1730 Philip V 1 real.
there are no words to explain my excitement but having found 3 Spanish silvers on a field i have hardly hit i am begining to think im on some sort of trading site from way back when, and my mind is thinking there maybe gold escudos there from the same time frame.
here is some pictures.IMG_1292.jpgIMG_1293.jpg

Gorgeous coin and awesome find! :perfect10: Wish you the best of luck on the trading post thoughts. One never knows what's down under till you get swinging.
 
That is a mind blowing find, Lee! :wow:

Soon to be 300 years old! What an incredible piece of history, and silver to boot! I would have jumped 10 feet in the air had I found it!

:perfect10:

funny you say that lez,the 2 i found there prior to this one both had holes at the top,the 1754 1/2 real from last year my wife now wares around her neck.
 
Grats on the pillar coin, Lee.. <---:lol: I think you know why I put that identifier. My oldest silver still remains at 1875. I saw that too after putting on the NEL sharpshooter on my Bounty hunter. The nickels went from 23-25 to 27-29. But it wasn't a huge change so took all of 20 min of digging at a park to know how far off from original learning the new numbers were. I should get a new machine before going... altho you said any machine could have nabbed it.
 
Finding only one coin all day would be just fine with me, as long as it were a coin like that one!:shocked05:
That's a real beauty Lee!!
Congrats! :grin:

Hopefully there'll be one or two more hiding out :crossfingers:
