Colonial Spanish and early American coins

It didn't start out so great today because Kirk was told to work extra hours at work. We were patient like the patient Gibbons that we are. Starting out hours after we usually get detecting proved to be a good omen after all. Kyles usual diligent research bone pointed us in the right direction. I secured permission with yet another gracious landowner. Off we went on another pirates quest for booty. This farm has at least a hundred acres of productive land that we determined will keep us bipeds happy for many weeks,months and not out of the question-YEARS. Well at least a fallback area for years. I'll let Kyle aka Zoyboy give you the particulars but let me just say that I am extremely excited about this area. The farmer told me that we can go back as many times as we want. Here's what I found and in order #1 1902 Injun
#2 1946 Rosy
#3 Classic head half cent date corroded otherwise great shape
#4 1782 Spanish Half Real
I also found 3 colonial buttons and a 1955 dog license.
Have a good one everyone
Chris

Maybe someday you'll get a nice 2 reale like your nephew..... OOOOOFF!. Just kidding Chris. You guys are my heroes!! The mother lode is out there waiting for you. Make sure somebody kidnaps Kirky from the hospital for your next hunt. We're all overdue for a good KirkPa story. Then again, you've probably already found a 2 reale also haven't you.

CSZ, right now, your picture is on our background. Think about it, I found a Liberty Cap today, but it still couldn't beat your finds to take over our background. Ca-diss, we must keep the John Walter sweeps a sweeping. OOOOF

Yeah Evo it would have been nice if it was a 2 reales but Kyle deserved that 1774. He works hard at his research and it was a huge payoff for him. Another Half real for me and I equal the value of his anyway so maybe next week. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Chris

Re: Colonial Spanish and early American coins

Uncle Colonial Zeus,

Yo, uncle, you had one hell of a day! You definitely were due for some nice coins! That half real is the NICEST I have seen in awhile! We should keep pounding this area!

Hmmmm...maybe there is a Liberty Cap half cent here.

We must! We must! We MUST!

That '46 rosie and half reale were probably from the same coin spill. Nice finds.

You're next Cap'n. Your pockets will be so loaded with colonials that you will have to bring a donkey just to carry your load. OOOOF I can't wait till Sunday. Man what an experience that was. It's all coming together nicely. Zoyncle Zeus
