CELLAR HOLE HUNT REDEMPTION*1721 TWO REALE PISTAREEN

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Fellow Nor'Easter detecting member Allyson (also known in her blogs as the detecting diva) wanted to go on a cellar hole hunt with Todd & myself.1st 2 sites were hit and pretty well.i nabbed a few buttons & 2 nice colonial strap hinges.the 3 rd site is where I redeemed myself from last weeks heavymetalputz incident with the white faced hornets & cracking my knee.My knees still a little sore but after walking awhile it seemed to loosen up so,maybe i did something good by getting out of the house and walking on it.
got a nice signal at 3 inches,in the hole I see a large thin silver :shocked03:
now ya don't see these much up north,I see quite a few dug in Virginia and had always wanted one.
a 1721 two reale silver pistareen.
never seen this backmark on the earlier 2 pice button? M.Sandland? and the brass thing with half holes? some sort of bird shot lead mold is all i can think of :confused:

That is a beautiful, amazing coin Dave. :perfect10: You definitely redeemed yourself! (It's a good thing, because the forum name Heavymetalputz just doesn't have the same ring to it. :poke: lol ) You are a diehard detectorist for sure!!!

On some outstanding finds and also surviving those hornets Dave- so sorry to hear you busted your knee in the process. As often as you guys are in the woods, have you run into many swarms? I already told you about my run-in with the yellow jackets last week, which still itch like >:/ How many stings did you end up with?

Congrats again on the 1721 pistareen it looks beautiful up there on the banner thumbsup01
