BOOYEAH! Hunt of the Year!! Spanish Silver!! - PICS ADDED

Hunt of the year...at least so far. I had a couple hours this evening so I went back to a field I've been hunting for several years. This field was disced a couple weeks ago but hasn't been planted yet. As soon as I started detecting I knew it was going to be a good hunt. When the soil is loose on this field it wreaks havoc with the tones of my F75...but it's rained a few times since it was disced so the ground was bare and well compacted. This is the field where I take everyone because there is always a chance at a great target. One of my best finds, a King's American Dragoon's Loyalist button came from this site as well as dozens of coppers and relics. The one thing that has not come from this field was a silver...until tonight!

I started popping a couple harness buckles and a musket ball and decided to try a section I hadn't spent much time on. Got a great signal and popped out one of the nicest buckles I've ever dug, a small silver shoe buckle...intact! I thought this would have been the find of the hunt but I continued on for another hour. Eventually I wandered back to the main site, the area that's been pounded the most. Heading back towards the car I got a weak signal in the silver range...flipped the earth and there was my second Spanish silver cob! It's a 1663 half real...my oldest coin yet! Beat my avatar cob by 11 years!

Went back to the field for the last time tonight...was planted today!!! Heartbreak!!! Due to a lack of fields I got wet in a nearby creek...think I fried my Pinpointer...

Those would be a find of a lifetime for me , awesome job just cause an area has been pounded doesn't mean that all of the treasures are gone, I love poping in after a few hunters have been threw just before me and I find something, Great job !!!

if you got it wet try removing the battery and sticking the whole thing in a baggy full of rice. leave it in there for a couple of days and try it with a fresh battery. This method work for my daughters phone when she put it through the wash.
