My first Spanish Silver

[stewball1]

I don't post much, but I think this find is worthy. On April 6th, I went to a school in Huntington, NY that I have been hunting at for about 8 years. The school has been good to me in that it previously gave up 1816 & 1826 large cents, about 50 silver coins (Mercs, Roosies and Washingtons), loads of wheats, loads of clad coins, 6 silver rings and one gold ring. This time I hunted with a Minelab SE Pro with a 12 inch stock coil. Since the weather was nice, I decided to warm up for a hour and hunt. I cleaned up the tot lots of clad and proceeded to the soccer field. I went about 5 yards in and got a jumpy signal of 29 and 428 on my detector. I dug down about 6 inches and out popped this 1737 Pistereen 2 Reales coin weighing about 6 grams and minted in Seville. Good thing I went to the toilet before I went hunting. This is a bucket lister and my oldest find to date.

Congrats on your find. I am amazed at the coins still in the ground considering how built up Long Island is, and is continuing to be built up. Imagine how much land has been dug up and dumped in landfill spots. All those lost coins and relics. In the process of cataract surgery. Won't be hunting for a while. Appreciate the offer.
