My first post in ages because I really haven’t been detecting much at all. Took a shot at a couple spots this week. I had hit the first spot a bunch in the past and all it gave me was the gun part but it’s a cool relic in my book. I’m interested in an age on it if we have some experts online this evening.
The second spot was a town square kind of place with monuments on it. I knew the park was not super old but there are old houses around it so I hoped it might surrender some goodies. After snagging about twenty coins from the 60’s and 70’s, I decided to wander over to one end with some bigger trees. The Barber came up first and I was pumped that the park had some age, at least in that section. The 1779 Spanish made my day about 15 minutes later! Any experts able to tell me a mint for this baby? Can’t wait to get back but winter is descending this week.

Dang! A Spanish in a modern park? Way to go!!!!

Totally shocked the sh-t out of me, to be honest! I was hunting with my brother in law and ran over to him see if he could ID it. Both of us 50+ yr olds need glasses to read anything so we’re both squinting at it and then I thought I saw the pillars through the dirt and I freaked out completely.
 

Outstanding finds!!!!!! I’d agree with VTdigger on the shotgun side plate. The half Reale is is great shape as well!!! What part of Massachusetts are you from? Always good to see Massachusetts diggers on here

I’m from the south shore of Boston, and you?
