    OH MY GAWD!!!! 2nd Video added

    So, Tim, Don and I all hit our honeyhole early this morning. Well...today was pretty special! The first target I got was another first for me... a liberty capped 1/2 cent piece with a 179? date...pretty rough shape, but I'll take it!!! So, we were about to wind up the hunt when Tim comes over to tell me something. I stop detecting and just move my coil to the right of me and it gives me a sweet high tone....hmmmm I look and it is a solid 12-45 and didn't budge...Tim keeps talking and I tell him I've got a good 12-45 here... He gets out his camera and filmed the dig... We looked in the hole and I see the side of what looked like a large cent... He gives me the water and OMG...Another REALE!!!! This time it is in awesome shape and a date too! 1793 2 Reales!!!!!!!! We were both flipping out. Two reales in the same week! Here are my pics and the videos will follow later!

    That has got to be the best looking dug Reale I have seen.
    Very nice!

    Re: OH MY GAWD!!!!

    lol Now you definitely know what one looks like. That is a beautiful 2 Reales. It's minted in Lima, Peru and is in awsome shape The other coin is indeed a Liberty Capped Half Cent, since the bust has a high arch to it and any one dated in the 17's is automatically a Liberty Capped. Regular Draped Bust Half Cents started in 1800. I'd say a great hunt but that would be an understatement lol Congrats on each of them finds.

    Great finds , the 2 Reale is magnificent and it was amazing there was any date at all on the half cent . . Way back in this country's history there was a shortage of money so foreign money was used right along with American currency . You guys have a heck of a spot there and I expect we are going to see many more great finds possibly even cut pieces of eight . Awesome that you guys filmed it . thumbsup01 thumbsup01

    Just watched the video..... NICE!

    It makes an awesome discovery even better with the footage. It's just mind blowing how that coin has been there for so long.

    I guess that makes it mine. ............ rofl rofl rofl makes sense to me. lol
