Let me start this of to big thanks to my CRAZY Superstitious friend Ahabe8!!!! And my good luck charm. .
We talking on the phone this morning, he was going to work,and i was going digging. .lol
He told me I was going to find a 2reale today. That would have made me happy,because I have never found one yet..
So I pull up to the property and the lady lets the dogs out to come see me..I brought them bones this time..
I get my stuff and head to the back fields. And the dogs follow..
Not 5min in it starts pouring! !
I new it was not going to last so i stuck it out.. I turned around and the dogs were under a tree looking at me like im nuts for being in the rain..
Geuss they had more sense then me..lol Anyway I found a few flat buttons and a toasted copper.
Started working my way back towards the house a the lady came out ,so i stopped a showed her what i had found so far..We were talking for a few and she was telling me about this big pond behind the tree line.
I was like ok..Thats were im heading!!!!! Bill D tells me look for water...lol..
On my way over Ahabe8 calls me to see how im doing.. I tell him i found a few things. And i tell him im heading over to this pond.. he goes and gives me his lucky 8 speach..
And makes stay on the phone untill it was 12:08 lol...he's nuts!!!
We get of the phone and bang..
Silver cuff link, with a neat little design. .I text Abe a pic..Lol..
Not 10mins later I get this awsome signal deep..Figures its under this 4inch root..Im hacking away and digging, cant believe i didn't hit the coin??? I see a big silver staring back at me..I go now way,not another silver dollar???
I pull it out and almost fainted. .
A freaking 8 reale!!!!! No way???
I dropped it back and took a pic..
I was shaking and my head started pounding..
Well you know who I had to call..
Abe, he was like yea?? I told you that stuff works...lol
He so modest..
Anyway the I had to text Bill D..
And tell him, he called right away also.....Told me he was heading to the beach to swing..He way real happy for me..As im typing this he just text me a pic of something awsome also..Let him tell you..lol
So it was a awsome day..
The next target was another copper, not sure what they are, if anyone knows chime in.. there the size of Virginia coppers but cant tell..
And here are some pics of the other stuff.
I really could not focus after the big 8.lol
Plus i like to save spots like this, little by little i will clear it out..lol
Also had to take pics of the water, maybe this was were they took there clothing off to go swimming? ??
Thanks for looking and being here to share with.
HH.
George

Thanks Bubba
 

That's a very nice coin with great luster. Congratulations
 

Well you got me almost speechless!
The season you're enjoying doesn't happen to a person every time, enjoy it while it lasts

Thanks Ih..
I am enjoying it. I know it cant last forever. Thats why i go for a little bit, then leave..These kind of spots are hard to find..
 

Great find George. It don't get much better than that. Of course I get a text from you and I about fall out of my chair, as usual. I usually don't get green with envy but with this I am. People say you're lucky guy, but you work hard on permissions and detect like a SOB, and deserve every bit of what you find. Congrats bud.

Steve

Thanks Steve. .
You are having a killer year also..
Lets get out soon. .
George
 

Congratulations!!!!!!! That's gotta be the best condition 8R I've ever seen dug! Wow wow wow! Good for you man. BANNER!!!

Thanks RM..
And i appreciate the vote..

Phenomenal!! Good for you and here's a banner vote for a little extra frosting on the cake :)
 

I think my emails were enough to give you some gr8 hunts


Now that you mention it, this is the best year detecting I've ever had. I'm starting to believe... you're some sort of lucky Irish treasure charm. :4leafclover:
 

Congrats George on an amazing and beautiful find! Definitely a Banner item. I would try to identify the Copper coin for you but it would probably just turn out to be super rare and then everybody would be even more jealous!:icon_scratch::tongue3:

Thanks Frank for the vote and laugh.
I believe they are Virginia coppers.
I can see the cross on the backs.

That'll make for a nice day. Great find, those 8 Reales aren't easy to come by.
 

I didn't check back through all the posts to see if it was said.... but doesn't the copper say "Auctori" (CT copper)
