Day 3: Mint State 1791 Silver + King George Coppa...TOTAL FINDS SO FAR!!!!!!

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Hey, folks, I got out today with Colonial Silver Zeus and Colonial KirkPA to our suuuuuuuuuuper productive site. In two trips, we excavated 8 coins and tons of relics. Thanks to Keith for filling in for CSZ today at work; if it weren't for him filling in, we wouldn't have been able to hunt today.

Well, after talking to the suuuper cordial farmer, he told us that we shouldn't hunt in the soybean field right now, considering it is growing at a great rate. So, we decided to hit the cornfield across the street from the dwelling. From my research, I knew this other field was related to the dwelling.

As usual, I sweeping along in John Walter-like style, when I was startled with a perfect "M" on "Dime" reading on my White's XL Pro 6000. I instantly pinpointed, dug some doyt (dirt) out, and was greeted with a shiny, silvery-like object. I picked the buggard up, and saw a mint state 1791 Spanish One Real glancing back at my jib! I stood up, and yelled out, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOO, 1791 ONE REAL...SILVER...SUUUUUUUUPER GOOD SHAPE...MINT STATE, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Folks, this is the best shape Spanish silver I've seen posted in awhile, and it was found in a plowed field to boot!

Well, after talking to the farmer's suuuuuuuper cordial brother, who is also a farmer, we decided to take a break. During this break, we had some great laughs with the gracious farmer, who loved the recoveries that we were making on his property. The two farmer brothers are the BEST landowners we've ever encountered during our short career.

After the short break, I was sweeping along in the same area where the silver was found, and I was greeted with an "E" on "Dime" reading on my machine. It turned out to be a King George II coppa at a depth of 6 inches. I later found the beautiful button and spigot-like object in the same area.

I can't wait for this coming Sunday!

Thanks for looking, guys!

From my non-rasearch, I knew that this other field was related to the dwelling. It's relationship to the other dwelling was that it was "adjacent" to the other dwelling. In fact, this field was right across the street from the dwelling. The two fields would've touched if it weren't for the road, in fact.

Seriously though--that's a SWEET 1 Real. Looks almost as nice as the one from a plowed field that I posted in January. Of course, the KG is still on my list, so I can't poke fun at you guys too much.

You dudes ROCK.

It's not the fact that the fields would be touching if in fact that the road were to suddenly disapear that is significant. It all comes together when taken into consideration the research that brought all this timely culmination together in the first place my good man. These facts were brought to the forfront at the latest meeting of the minds.This discussion is getting to cerebral

Thanks, my good friend from SoCal, for the reply. You are right, it does seem to be getting better each time. I just have a good feeling that there are handfuls more to be found.

Re: Day 3: Mint State 1791 Silver + King George Coppa

Kyle, you have GOT to start filming the recoveries of these spectacular finds I'd pay big bucks. . . no, GIVE you all the V-Nickels I've found this spring if I could just catch a glimpse the glazed expression of giddiness on your face as you pull one of those "puppies" out of the historic colonial "doit" 8)

You rock!!

(BTW, I expect super-awesome things from the "3 coppateers" this weekend when I "toin the 'puter on Monday moinin')

I have thought about doing that before, but I just couldn't calm myself down to actually do it. The spastic outbursts would be suuuuuper funny if ever filmed, though.

Thanks for the kind reply, buddy!

Thanks, Buck, for the sweet metal datecting reply. You and your buddies are great hunters who know what to look for, and do so with an extreme passion. In my career, I've found two Spanish wilvers: a 1774 two reales and a 1791 One Real. Heck, I hope an 8 reales pops up next.

Keep the fever high, buddy! I'll be looking for your coppa post later today!

Doug, thanks for the reply. This is my second Spanish wilver for the year, so I am quite happy. I hope our success continues throughout this 2008 season. I can't wait for Sunday!

Now, get out there and find us some more pieces of eight, my good buddy!
