Mexican 1/4 Reale, Roosie, Buffalo, and 1861 Springfield...

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all!

I have not been out 12 days... talk about needing a fix!

I hit a fiends house this afternoon... He has a nice sized garden and was picking me some radishes and sugar snap peas... I look down and in the tilled dirt...

I see a dime... shiny and I'm thinking new drop... then I see the date... its freeking silver... on the surface SCORE!

Lots of trash to pick through from the decades of faming / house / barn activities...

This was a dime target at 2 inches...

1861 Springfield ?? This is a big toy

Cunductive of 12 @ 3-4 inches yields a no dater Buffalo...

This was a pretty solid 12/45 at 6 inches... I was not thinking copper...

Mexican 1/4 Reale (1820s-1830s)

Here in the totals you can see the size of the toy gun...

Happy Hunting all !!
Paul

the toy musket is pretty cool and larger than i first though :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: the 1/4 reale is a very surprising find ( i can't believe they make them smaller than that :dontknow:, 1/8 reale too :crazy but i like it . glad you got some good time out swinging that ol' e-trac.

Glad you got out to find some stuff Paul. :clapping:
I've been on a very lean metal detecting schedule lately too. I'm definitely getting the itch.
Love the toy musket... a very cool find.
Nice bunch of keepers. thumbsup01

That button looked great till I turned it over to see the common rusted jacket button :-(
