🥇 BANNER 1770 8 Reale found today!!!!!!

[matt092079]

God was on my side for this one guys. HOLY CRAP!!!!! A solid 97-99 on the vdi. Was expecting a hot rock, they give off those funky signals. But to my surprise, at this pounded out spot, with only 2 buttons found last time out here, and 4 today, I dig a 1770 silver 8 REALES. And it's completely intact with amazing detail!!!

I've been hunting this place since February and it's dried up a bit, but this find was just what I needed to NOT give up on it just yet! Thanks for looking!

OMGosh man, an 8 Reale in that beautiful condition, in WV too? I may have missed previous posts, have you found more like that there? That's a great find as you know. I can't wait to finally find spanish silver. I'm amazed at the edging on that coin. SWEET! Congrats on the find and on the Banner, well deserved. HH!

What a beautiful coin! Congrats on making the banner! A find like that makes all of the hard work and time put into it worthwhile.

I would put it in a 2x2 and have a beer.

Put that huge 8R in a plastic slab, a 2X2, or leave it along so that you can handle it on occasion?

I would put it on a big gold chain to wear all the time...no wait! That won't work.



A monster 8R like that would mess up your neck pretty bad, and you can't go detecting with a sore neck.

Congrats on a huge (literally and figuratively), awesome, bannerific find!

Any chance of getting some nice macro shots of the coin to highlight all the detail?

Wow, what a beautiful looking coin, that's one amazing find Matt!

Not something I'd ever likely find up here in Ontario, but I can dream!

Congrats on making the BANNER too bud,
Dave

Matt congrats on a killer 8R bro. That's something I would really like to add to the collection one day. I am shocked at the number of 8rs and other big early silvers we have seen this year. Congrats on the Banner buddy
