1799 1/2 Real, RI Hope State Button, 1864 Shot Indian

[OxShoeDrew]

After work today I spent 90min at a field that has been producing of late. I got a live dig of the 1/2 real (Mexico City)...I must say it is a pathetic attempt at video production :lol:...and is getting worse as I can't, as yet, figure out how to attach it to this post :bangahead02:
The IH is in really nice condition if you don't count the hole in the face :lol: and the RI state button is a large Scoville. Thanks!

Boy your hunts have been very productive Drew ! Plus two holed coins in one hunt! ;) Nice real :congrats:

[aloldstuff]

Wouldn't it be a crying shame if that IH had the "L". Very nice 90 min hunt, love that Spanish silver.

[Digger_O'Dell]

Good job on the hunt-really nice coins!

[Bucknut]

Awesome digs!

Now that is what I call a dream hunt. I especially like the button. Have you put a date on it? To me it looks 1850s-60s.

[Cheap Thrills]

Wow Drew it might be time for you to open up a restaurant because you've really been cooking lately .Congrats on the great finds and nice job on the pictures .

You my friend have some of the best consistent short hunts to finds ratio :wow: then anyone i know :envious::envious: well done !!

Nice score yet again Drew. The 1864 not a fatty? Looks like it was holed and folded from the back. Not shot or drilled. I doubt in 1864 that coins were still drilled for the same reason for which the real was. I forgot whom else got the RI button recently besides you.

Spanish silver makes for a great day. Congrats Drew

[OxShoeDrew]

Thank you guys...I've been fortunate lately to get my coil over some good stuff :thumbsup02:
Jim, I think you're right about it being drilled...the back of that indian looks like it might have been a washer...but the hole is off center...so I don't know.

[OxShoeDrew]

Wow , now that I look at the picture I can see the square washer mark.

[Trooper Bri]

That field is coughing up a nice variety of finds Drew, congrats! Nice Spanish silver.
You can't attach vids here. You'll have to upload them to YouTube and post a link, or to your timeline on Facebook and allow anyone to see it.

You've been killing it lately Drew! Awesome Real and buttons. I always wonder about those shot up coins. Did somebody aim the barrel point blank and shoot at it? Did they consider flying metal shards or a possible injurious ricochet? What did they use to hold it? Always been a head scratcher for me.

That button is amazing! Looks civil war to me, great find! Awesome coins too! :)

[Restoring Your Finds]

Very nice finds ! Congrats and thanks for sharing.

[OxShoeDrew]

Thank you everyone,
Tim, it looks CW era to me but I haven't had a moment to look into it.
John, I think they both were drilled. The silver to wear(?) and the indian as a washer.

[The Rebel]

Dang Drew! I nominate you for best hunter of 2015!


You my friend have some of the best consistent short hunts to finds ratio :wow: then anyone i know :envious::envious: well done !!

Totally agree!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]
