Spanish Silver Drought is OVER!!!

[romeo-1]

I was out for a couple hours this evening to a site that I have been detecting for all of my 12 years with a detector. I've pounded this site as have many others but it is a huge site and is plowed almost every year.

After wandering around for the first 90 minutes picking up odds and sods I got a nice 81 hit on the AT Pro. 81 is usually a semi-modern penny so I wasn't really hopeful digging the plug. After I opened the hole the 81 became a solid 84 and I knew it wasn't a penny...sure enough I could see a glint of silver and popped out a 1778 1 Reale!

I could not be happier...it's been a couple years since my last Spanish silver so this really made my day!

Digging Spanish silver in Canada just blows my mind. I'm happy for you, and super jealous! Congrats man, she's a beauty.

Great save! I enjoy seeing the finds from the east coast. You folks dig what we in the Midwest can only dream of.

Maybe many others, hunting that site, but I don't think I'm one of those ?

Anyway I'm glad you got a Spanish SILVER !

PS been awhile since I got one of those too.

Congrats on breaking your Spanish silver drought. I dug one in March of 2015 and hadn't dug another until I dug the cob last month. Kind of a mini drought for me. I also like that flower button you dug.
