For those who like history, I hit the jackpot the other day.

wow dude very cool. And unless some poor sap dropped that on accident I would say to very thoroughly search that area within a 100 meter circle.

Thanks. only a handful exist. I will put it up for auction after it gets conserved and slabbed. Hopefully I can get in the VF+ range (10k+)

That coin has been in the ground for hundreds of years. The spot I found I've been metal detecting for the past year and have some really nice finds. I went back today and found a 1700's spanish reale. Will go again tomorrow and clean that whole spot out.
