Spanish silver 1728 and 1781

[leslie(nova scotia)]

Wowzer! Navy Davy and I met up with Ryan and Jeff for an outing.
First stop netted me a large cent that was toasty to say the least. We left that spot after a half hour as not much was found here. Next spot Ryan pulls out a nice 1917 large cent along with an early Lizzy dime. Navy Davy who braved the deep furrows was rewarded with a silver thimble. Man walking here was hazardous to ones health as there was a few mighty deep holes here caused by the recent plowing.
Hitting the third spot was a different beast with tall grass and an incline. Lord love a duck this wanker struggled at this point. Was nice to be hunting for a few oldies instead of quota! Then Zen Guru (AT Pro International) let loose with a solid 72...out popped a 1728 one real. About 5 minutes later another solid signal at 85 and out popped a 1781 2 real. Luck of the swing not skill. My batteries ran out so back to the truck. Out goes the copper tops and in goes 4 Ever ready that for the first second gave me the full array of bars. Two steps later the Every ready became Never ready so I bugged ND for a fresh four pack.
Saw Jeff digging in earnest. What the halibut he was so deep that only the handle of his spade was above the hole. Have never witnesses a hole that low that gave up coin...a large copper.
Great day with fellow diggers with 3 of us hitting silver and not too mention everyone doing well!

Awesome finds!
Spanish silver is always a winner…!
And a vote for banner, of which I see has been voted for already…!

 

[Aureus]

That's pretty awesome! Big congratulations on amazing coins in top shape!

 

[Almy]

I like those coins! They are in much better shape than the few I have found. Of course, mine were far inland so got worn while the owner walked here from the coast. I therefore may never find one as nice as yours. A NS over NB advantage? Oh yes, come to think of it we have coast too, and a very prolific detectorist there.

 

[DigToChina]

Any find that gob smacks you into writing something with nearly no limerick is definitely a banner find IMO Leslie 😂

They are top notch finds so I’ve put in my upvote. Congratulations!

 

[The Rebel]

WTG Leslie, those are beautiful! Glad to hear all came home with some goodies!

 

[plehbah2]

Those are both extremely nice old silver coins. You got a very old one, and an old big one. Those are way better than any dirty penny quota.

 

[lenmac65]

Congrats on the beautiful Spanish silver. While the earlier dated coin is of course great, there is something a little more special and personal about that portrait piece, in my opinion. Both such great coins, and on one search no less. Congrats again!

 

[Silvermonkey]

That's one fantastic hunt! Congrats on those beatiful silvers.
