A REAL old coin & some Baltimore Relics

[8Reales]

Finally and a true bucket lister in US soil for me, dug my first real, its actually a 1/2 real from 1772. Attack of the wheats this time with 11 coins, two being 1909. An old Jefferson, followed by two 1943 war nickels, a dateless buffalo. A modern token and a tag with the number 63, also dug an old Baltimore & Ohio ( B&O ) lead seal. A few modern buttons all with iron backs, The best and oldest one is the Baltimore Police button that should date in the early 1900s, A collar stud and what I think if also a collar stud with a US Flag on it. Also found a St. Christopher religious medal. A tiny intact lock, usually i dig them with the loop missing. A pocket knife that disintegrated and left me only with the gold-filled handles. The base to a lead soldier and a gun missing the barrel. The 1/2 Real is really a good find among these others since most are not nearly as old and im glad u dug that sketchy signal.

hey brothuh, nice digs. i opened up your photo, thinkin one of the '09 wheats is top left, r you familiar w varieties of this fyoi? a tiny VDB between the stems of the wheat sheafs on reverse would be nice, an S mintmark under the date would be super, and both might garner your second banner. Good luck and HH, Herbie.

Hi yes unfortunately both are Philly minted coins, but it always amazes me how these early wheats hold better in the ground compared to the later years.
