1790 Half Reale and 1722 Rosa Americana Penny...

[FooserPaul]

Hello All!

Sorry I haven't been very active lately... but life, family, and work been... crazy... but I have been getting out once a week or so...

Today I hit a spot that Dan, George, and I have visitied a few times... This is private property and my 10th visit to the site... Chucl Scott from out detecting group went with me today...

From 9:30 to 2:30... not so much... lots of copper projectiles... Some lead... Some D buckels...

2:30 Then the Rosa Americana popped out... I should have left the hard pack dirt in place... gentle rinse with water... and the rose and the 172 gone... but I knew the coin immediately as I recovered on last year...

2:40... 10/35 and it was bang bang... No one would have missed this target @ 4", but I was luckly enough to get my coil over it... I was thinking Indian head... but knew that the ferrous of 10 was a little high... I was NOT expecting my first Spanish Silver...

1790 Spanish Half Reale... I know they heard me yell a county over :-)

I have another 5-6 hunts worth of recoveries to get pictures up for...

Oh yeah... I've been waiting 3.5 years to get Spanish Silver... Did I menetion Spanish Silver 8D

Nice score! It is always fun finding coins with monarchs (our saying is "NO dead presidents, please!"). Finding Spanish silver is an added bonus! It looks like yours was exposed to some very high temperatures! Still a nice find in my book!
