http://www.adventureswithjim.com Wow, this has been a long time coming, endless days of metal detecting the woods of the Colonial sites and any coin you find out there is going to be something amazing. Even worn down to a nub, this Spanish Reale cob coin is no exception...amazingly old! Makes you wonder, who handled this coin? How far did it travel? My mantra to all the new diggers out there is still the same, never give up! The good stuff is STILL out there.

  • Awesome Jim, happy for ya man, it is a long time coming. Was it just as exciting as the gold coin? :-p

  • @cmm2k5 The gold coin was pure shock value, this was more of a vindication kind of satisfaction...I knew there had to be a coin out there somewhere and that it would be amazing, just took a long time to get there.

  • @roadkillscjim how much is a coin like that worth and how much was your gold coin

  • I think the shiny button is made of tombac - that was probably a farm field of some sort - if there was a paper mill nearby - they often used the dregs as fertilizer (similar to lime) - being they used rags to make paper - lots of buttons in those dregs - I have some fields near me that are similar - when they are plowed you see little white glass buttons everywhere - great finds....

  • Awesome Coin!!!

  • 1663?! Holy shit!

  • Great video Jim...I think you got a keeper hot spot to work! HH!

  • Nice work Jim! Way to keep at it, and thanks for sharing!

  • AWESOME job buddy!!!! Keep tearin that site up, im sure more goodies are just waiting to be unearthed!!!

  • Well one thing we can say about the Colonials in your area is that the cotton they used was absolute crap since all the buttons came adrift, so they obviously ran around with their clothes a-flappin' in the breeze (the women, that is). Fortunately, among all that flappin', one of them became separated from their 1663 coin at some point LOL - along comes Jim. Congratulations & HH mate.

  • Nice find Jim !!
