2 X 2 reales, GEO 1st copper, nice knee buckle

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

What a day, pretty hot, and the ground was more or less like lumps of cement. Kind of hard to keep your balance walking on them, Dave called them mogulls (spell check that).

Dave got a copper straight away, and after an hour and a half I still only had one lonely musket ball. My first good coin type signal was a 1725 2 reale pretty much on top of the ground. Then I got the nice decorated knee buckle (I assume that's what it is) a couple of pewter buttons and I believe the first one ever with a complete shank. The george 1st copper is also a first, or first one that can be IDed, circa 1717 to 1719.

Lunch break, hard boiled eggs, and back at it. Barely started I got another near surface Spanish Silver, this is the one that is in the clump of dirt, dated 1776. The video sucked so I just took out this one frame.



All in all a great day with some nice finds, and firsts.
Funny it took 5 years to get my first spanish silver, I got three 2Rs in this past 7 days.

[doninbrewster]

Two 2 Reales! Now that's the kind of thing I like to see. It shows that there still is lots left in the ground, but you'll never find it if you're not out looking. Great finds! I found my first 2 reale this year as well as a few 1/2 reales. Nice finding old silver.

Outstanding outing there Rick! Those Spanish 2 reales are both in fantastic shape, and the KG I isn't too shabby either. The ornate knee buckle is a sweet little relic. I'm surprised you didn't dig a couple Rev War buttons while you were at it

We did get 4 pewter button between us, and there could very well be a "good" one laying there, but the conditions were far from favorable. In order to clear the clumps you coil was 6-12 inches above the ground between the clumps. If it gets leveled out I think more will come.

yeah I'd say you are right. Pewter buttons tend to hide fairly well, especially the early military which had iron shanks compared to the civilian cast ones with pewter shanks.
