Group relic hunt

[coinnut]

Dan got together myself, Drew and Brandon for a birthday boy's relic hunt. Happy birthday Dan:clapping:We hit two sites and the second one was definitely better for me. A lot of shot gun shells and other junk, but I did get a good amount of buttons, a large caliber musket ball and just 3 coins. Thank God they were not clad :lol: The two silvers are Half Reales, although one of them looks like it was reduced down in size a bit (that's called stealing :shocked04: :lol:) The copper coin is a rare French Liard with an incredibly low mintage of 81 million :rofl: Who knew that in 1657 they could mass produce that many coins. Ok, so it's not really rare but one of my older dated coins. Thanks for the hunt Dan and friends. We managed to not get wet from the weather or the trip across the brook.

what no humiliating "riding the pole" picture .... your slacking:lol:

what a day you had , i only hope i do as well on your birthday :rofl:
the French Liard is in very nice shape for its age maybe that site is older then first though and i don't think the reales have the same bust on both they look a bit different . Great hunt George :clapping::cheering:

:drool:Wow, great hunt George. 1657 would be my oldest coin. The 1/2 reales have been avoiding my coil, its been almost a year since I last dug some reales. Gratz on a sweet hunt!

[pulltabsteve]

Nice digs G! The Reales are awesome and what can said about that "rare" french coin that hasn't already been said.... :cool: Its always a blast getting out on a group hunt.

Happy Birthday Dan! Congrats on your KG find! :thumbsup02: You guys had a great day in the woods!

:lol: Hey that pole was wet coming back....I bet the sliding was easy. Nice hunt fellas, and happy birthday! Hey George must have the big 6-0 coming up :lol: Its a 1787 CT. I'll post as soon as I get my act together. Hey, how come you guys aren't hunting?

George works on saturdays and sundays ( he played hooky yesterday) , i'm going out later for a few hours

[Lodge Scent]

Nice hunt guys....lots of oldies :congrats: Good for the birthday boy to get on the board.

[del]

hey George your two reales do have different rulers the 1787 is the last year for Carolus III (Charles II) and the smaller one is Carolus IIII 1788-1809 and probably explains why that coin is a bit smaller .

[fsa46]

Wow, what a great hunt. It's amazing how much that half reale is worn down George. 1657 oldie, that had to get the juices flowing.

[chief5709]

What?? no snow?? you guys are killing me. Great finds! 1657!!! :wow:

[del]

What?? no snow?? you guys are killing me.

Brian no snow at all but we did get a little freezing rain and sleet while we were out there

[chief5709]

btw Happy Birthday Dan!

[coinnut]

Thanks everyone. It was a lot of fun hunting together, but the time seems to fly by so quick. :dontknow: Some of those fields were so sparse in targets that you almost quit, but that is where one of the Spanish came out of. Makes you wonder how well off you have to be to carry silver into the fields with you? As for the footage of Dan and his scary journey across the pole.....that is saved in the "when needed" files:devilish:

[The Rebel]

WTG on a great hunt. Looks like we're in for 6-8" of that dreaded white stuff.:bangshead01:

[RobW]

:shocked04:...what a hunt George! 2 half reales and a 1657 copper:envious:

Dan at least your scored something on your birthday..and it was a few years older than you
