Took the boys hunting today.

[CTTodd]

I took the group from Dirt Fishing America out to some fields today. They found some things and I found some that I'll show you. I felt embarrassed finding what I did find. I really wanted them to find it all. But that's the way it goes. I got a no date LC and my first Reale for the year it's a 1784 1 Reale. What a great group to hunt with they were so happy with my finds and theirs. Just the kind of people you want to hunt with. They did well too but I'll let them tell their story.

[OxShoeDrew]

That's excellent Todd! :congrats: What is Dirt Fishing America?

[CTTodd]

They do videos under that name and do things with Minelab

[BTV Digger]

Very nice. Makes the hunts all that more enjoyable when you have folks to share the experience with. What's the diamond-shaped piece?

[Digger Don]

Very Cool, Nice finds.
I agree with BTV Digger, It's always more fun when you can share your experience with freinds
Great Job & HH

Nice job Todd. I second that question- what is that diamond shape item?

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

nice! did you hit a field site?

[Timewarpdigger]

I bet you had a great time. Been reading the threads about them coming out to the east the last couple of days. Congrats. Safe & HH

[Thiltzy]

Great job on the finds . would be nice to see the clean up picks on the 1 Reale and the diamond shaped brass piece.

[del]

some great goodies you have there Todd .:clapping:

[Skamaniac]

Some nice items there! I hope we get to hear about the other finds too.

[CTTodd]

The diamond piece is a broach I haven't cleaned it up yet but it didn't look like it had any design on it. The LC just goes in the slug pile but you know fun to dig. Funny note for the seasoned east coast diggers here.....they shot video of their first OX knob. LOL

no doubt because it sounded like a copper or silver :lol: you must had a lot of apathy for them when they seem a bit disappointed when they realized it wasn't a coin. ;)

No they dug it themselves then showed me the hunk of junk I told them what it was then the video started up. It was very funny. For a jaded north east hunter.
They're very nice guys just not used to digging colonial. If I hunt all day and don't get a LC I grumble and check coil connections. They think we are spoiled. They are right of course. The guys in England laugh at all of us. They're right too

It is all relative, isn't it. Nice digs in my book!

[DiggerAl]

Excellent finds, how deep was that Reale you got?

[giant056]

Great score on that Reale :thumbsup02:

[The Rebel]

WTG Todd! Was a nice weekend to get out!

[chief5709]

Nice job Todd!!

Todd is definitely one of the top notch guys around! always hosting hunts! you need to come north this fall and be a guest for a change. :thumbsup01:

[CTTodd]

The coin was approx 6" nothing around, it just sang out Bigtime. Nobody would have missed it, I just had the first coil over it. I'd rather be lucky any day.

We are going to get that done. Thank you. I always enjoy when you and I get out.

[CTTodd]

here's the reale38771 38772

[Bell-Two]

It is nice that you hosted them I am always glad to do it when I get the chance. Sweet Reale!

[don in ny]

Nice hit on the 1 reale. I pulled a half and 2 reale in the last week. Maybe we can get together and find the 4 & 8 reale to complete the set :grin: My 1/2 was a 1785 and the 2 reales was a 1788. We might even get a date run if we find a 1786 & 1787.

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Todd ya sure the diamond shaped piece isn't a horse bridle adornment? we find them often at cellar holes and usually just have 2 rusty nubs on the backside.usually made of a tombac type metal

[CTTodd]

I think it is a pin Dave because it looks like that on the back. Maybe
