I found a silver Spanish Half Reale at a small town park. This is my oldest coin that I have found and my 4th silver coin in 5 days.

  • It will be hard to top that one. I'm glad you put a clear pic on the end. Congrats and HH!

  • @TejasDigger I had trouble getting a clear picture of it with my camera. I had to use my cell phone. I have had a good week. Thanks for watching. HH

  • Great find with the colonial silver. It is my understanding that they were legal tender in the US until 1840 due to the shortage of coinage. Hope that helps.

    GL and HH

  • @farenheit1100 Thanks that helps to explain the amount of heavy wear. I know just how lucky I was to find this coin. While it might only be worth a couple of bucks in silver value it has to be by far my best find today. I don't go out and detect for what I find as most days I don't find anything great. I go out and detect for what I could find. For what might be waiting on me to find, for what might be waiting on me in the next hole. Thanks for watching, HH

  • What a great find iz...congrats,,on a once in a live time coin....You deserve it....R.D.D.

  • @REDDIRTDIGGER Thanks, I was thrilled to find it. I wish it was in better shape, but hey how many of those are floating around in Indiana dirt? There can't be that many. I doubt I will ever find an older coin. Thanks for watching. HH

  • @GrizzlyGroundswell Good Luck!

  • @Izman65 Home eating and picking up dogs. Hunted from 9am to 2:30Pm and I am only chasing nails. But, you just never know. Going back out with the pups after some cold pizza and a cold Pepsi. Hopefully things will turn around.

  • @GrizzlyGroundswell Thanks, went out today for a little while....one wheat.

  • @anniequilts I send you a message about metal detectors.
