More Park Fun- 1753 Half Real

[OxShoeDrew]

A couple more hours of park hopping produced the following. The 1/2 real was at 8in. I passed over a zillion dime and penny signals at 5in but when the trusty T2 says, "hey dummy... consistent penny signal (80) at 8in" I dig, and dig carefully! Thanks for looking!
PS Oh yeah...on the left is the largest button I've ever dug, shank attached.
PPS ...and that ring is sterling.

Very nice Drew! So with all your recent success .......will you ever go back into the woods ?

 

[OxShoeDrew]

Thank you, Bucknut! Jeff, funny thing...all week I've been putting on my hunting jeans, boots, wearing my socks New England style, carrying bug spray, etc just out of habit! This morning I wore shorts and sneakers :lol:
Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words guys! Milco, that looks like a ball but it's just a concave flat button....if that's what we call 'em.

Congrats on the Spanish! That's some discipline not digging those 5 inch coin signals. You're good!

Thank you!! Hey, how come everyone spells real with an "e" as in reale? Am I spelling it wrong as real?
Every website I've seen spells it "real" as singular and "reales" as pural.

You are spelling it correctly, Drew. :yes:

There is no such thing as a "Reale". It's either Real (singular) or Reales (plural).

Half Real
One Real
Two Reales
Four Reales
Eight Reales
