Hello All,

We went out for a hunt over the weekend and our Christmas Presents came early it appears. Dug a little more into our colonial era tavern site here in Southern Louisiana and managed to take our Spanish Silver count up to 18 for the year with an Incredible, Three-Spanish-Hunt! There were a lot of other cool relics dug, handfulls of musketballs, and too many finds to get cleaned quickly. I forgot to insert photos of my spanish from the end of the video, but it is a solid looking 1802 Half Real as you'll see below. Here are photos of my finds (Photos of Shanegalang's great coins appear here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...t-super-rare-mexican-republic-two-reales.html)

Video is last in the post (and it is a must-see!), but here are photos of just my finds...First off, the button from the video that I thought would be good. It is French-made (DOUBLE PLAQUE, PARIS):

Then here is a photo of the little button from the video that I found right on top:

And the same button with its two matching friends which I recovered earlier in the season:

My Spanish Silver (1802 Half Real, Mexico City Mint):

Happy Viewing, and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to All!!





Best Wishes,

I am amazed at the amount of early coinage and artifacts you are excavating at this site. What kind of research do you have on the age of the site? I am thinking it was settled around 1800ish or so. Just wait until you dig that pit, you will be giddy as hell. Have you ever thought about hunting the water near this site? There could be some interesting relics there.

You do not wanna get in the river near that site. Murky water and current. I am thinking late 1700s or early 1800s time frame.
