So stoked about this one! Found this last night in a new "Colonial Spot". Did the research over the winter but didn't get to hit the spot due to thick burn hazel. The weeds are wilting so no better time than the present. Put in a couple hours last night and made some pretty good finds.

It'll prob be a while until I get this video out, I still have video from the March that I need to work on.

I found these in an area that we've done well this year, so far. All the Spanish we've found falls within the mid 1700's. We found a 2 reales and a half reale very close by. The video of the reale finds is here:

Congrats on the old gold and silvers! That gold coin is a thing of pure beauty.
 

Ok. Then you have difficult decisions in front of you :

1) will you charge to autograph other people's metal detectors ? Or will you do it for free ?

2) Will your hunting partners now refer to you as "Oh mighty one" ? Or merely "sir" ?

3) Will you still hunt with "mere mortals" (those that haven't found gold coins) ?

Decisions decisions. HHHhhhmmm :cool3:
 
OUTSTANDING ! That gold coin is amazing. And the silver is pretty sweet also. A huge congrats on a terrific find. Good luck, Mark
