And I hit my smallest silver coin ever!!!!! It’s a 1896 Guatemala 1/4 Real Silver Coin at 6.5 inches. Smaller than my Trime by a lot. But I’m gonna give kudos to the 800. I get frustrated with it often with the iron falsing and I express that A LOT, but I have to say in the year I’ve owner it I’ve scored all my small silver bucket listers. On my one and only permission, the rest public areas, I met the guy who knew the previous owner of this 1812 property and he’s been detected it with a etrac by himself for 10 years and he’s found everything!!! He told me the only thing he hasn’t found where Half Reals and Capped Half Dimes, I got 2 of each there and a Louisiana Pelican Button. I’ve also got my first 1 reales, 2 other Half reales, a Trime, Liberty Half Dime and Seated Dime all in one year of my 3.5 years detecting, so I’m very impressed with the silver smalls with the 800. That being said this coin was on a chain at one time and came out “as is” I never even ran it under water. It’s cherry [emoji523] IMG_2629.jpgIMG_2630.jpgIMG_2631.jpgIMG_2632.jpg

Thanks for letting me share this moment with you guys [emoji1317]

I have found quite a few half real cobs and a pine tree shilling cut down to around 1/4 real size so it definitely was a useful denomination early on. Didnt realize is still was that much later on though. Nice find
 

Hey you know what they say?...Sun shines on every dogs ass once in awhile lol well done sir!!
 

Thanks for posting and congrats Truth! Perhaps if you told me the blessings you used, I also could make great finds! LOL

Thanks Toecutter, I can close my eyes and see/hear my father saying a version of that! Sun don't shine on the same dog all the time! I think that was his generation's version of Karma's a B word.

All the males in my family have had ADD generationally. When my son came home and told me his teacher was the B word, I took him aside and taught him
the word "termagant". Defined as a loud boisterous, authoritative woman. As a result of his 504 application "Americans With Disabilities Act" he was interviewed by an educational psychologist. The confused man told me that my son was really smart because he spoke in terminology he didn't understand! I had to laugh but my son got some advantages that allowed him to prevail.

Best wishes!
