I had a amazing hunt today with some friends at a new cellar hole property. We all did very well and all went home with old coppers and old silvers. My find of the day and i still cant believe i found one is a 1778 mexico city mint 8 reales. I never thought i would get one of these. It was a good signal but i had to work for it under tree roots. I knew what it was though as soon as it. It is in great shape and the pictures don’t do it justice at all. Thanks for looking! [emoji2][emoji106]

Congrats on scoring your 2nd Banner. That is one amazing coin and is on many a bucket list. I have seen others with a good story and pics not reach the top.

Like it was minted yesterday.
Wow!!!!
 

Congrats on the banner. The thing about an old silver coin that large is pulling one almost feels like having done the impossible. Maybe it sounds strange but when I pulled mine I almost felt like my mind was playing tricks on me. But I digress.

Seriously killer find and it makes the banner board look killer!
