Colonial silver from a soccerfield once again!

I went for a short hunt this Sunday just to get out because it was such beautiful weather! I was digging at a local soccer field and getting the usual clad coins and then this happened a half hour into the hunt! I got a 25/26 on the EQ800 with the stock coil. I figured it was a dime since it was a nice steady signal, but, I was pleasantly surprised when the 1786 1/2 reale surfaced from about six inches down. The coin was in a modern soccer field and the one from November was a 1763 also in a modern soccer field. It cleaned up nicely and definitely reinforces why we do what we do!

Very nice Find indeed, and something on my bucket list...

On our Club dig last Sunday a member found the Spanish coin below, what it was doing in a field on an out of the way hill farm in North Wales, is any bodies guess!

Apparently it's a Ferdinand and Isabella half Reale from the late 1400's???

That is one old coin! I love the Spanish silvers of any denomination, unfortunately, I have only found three so far and they have all been half reales ....
 
Wow man that’s incredible. You never know what’s hiding in the ground. Makes you wonder if there was something there before or that coin was brought in with fill
