We’ll hit the park near my house and I’ve pulled a lot of old coins from it probably over 100 acres with a beach also.
The 1881 was near where a huge tree stood and I’ve detected around it before but it was a nice little squeak the silver dime was in in the next camping spot over i found some wheat pennies and clad I only had about 40 minutes to detect park closes at sunset good luck out there more river detecting is the goal this year ..

WoW
Nice recovery.

8 royal columns. Mint of Mexico. It represents the old and the new world. "VTRAQUE VNUM" It was legal tender in the US until 1857. It was also called the Spanish dollar. It was the first internationally accepted coin... Beautiful coin!!

It’s a 1749 over 1739 very cool find
