Recently got onto a great colonial homesite that saw some late civil war action. My first 1700s silver came from this site and it was a 1798 8 reale (see previous thread for picture.) I got out for about an hour before dark. I was walking back to my bicycle (I live that close to the site) when I got a nice signal. I had discrimination on minimum so it could've been anything. I turned the discrimination to iron and it repeated still. I popped the plug and was feeling blindly around in the dirt (the sun had set) and felt what I thought was a button. I wiped the dirt off and saw that familiar face. I was staring into the face of a 1776 2 reale!!! I was so happy and freaked out. I found it about 15 feet from the 8 reale. Thanks for looking and happy hunting! I'll include the 8 reale pictures too.

It's only my 3rd silver coin. All of TNT silver coins were found when I was walking back to get a drink or leave!
 

Very nice , hope I get to cross that off my "Buck List" someday! Most likely will never happen out here.
 

Awesome! My first 2 Spanish were 1782 2 Reales. Love the big Spanish silvers. Great design on those coins

Weird..my first silver ANYTHING..was a nice silver ring I found while making a bee-line back to the car as I was done for the day..swinging in a straight line on the way to the parking lot when I got that familiar 84-85 signal indicating a quarter..though it did stay pretty steady at 85 and didn't move much..but out popped a beautiful silver ring..WOOT WOOT nice way to finish the day!! first silver..first ring..ddf
