MY OLDEST FIND EVER!!! Bullet Hills been good to me!!!

Here's my finds from bullet hill this month.... Everything shown, except 2 of the silver dimes were found at bullet hill. I also found my oldest find ever, yeah it's a little worn, but how would you look at 238 yrs. old. 1774 Spanish 1 Reale, found at 1 1/2 inches deep. It has the Mexico City mintmark on it. It's probably not worth much, but it is a priceless find for me. There are 34 fired, 3 ringers. The coin finds on this hill are few and far between, but generally they end up having some age to them. I also found a very unusual doorknob, which I found about 4 inches under an 1892 Barber quarter, and a couple tokens, a couple silver rings and the rest speaks for itself. Again Thank You Steve and Larry for showing me the way to this gem of a site. The clean-up of some of these finds have been difficult. I have been mastering electrolysis with some of these finds, only on finds that can't be cleaned by other means. Both Barber Quarters, looked like they had been in a fire. The 1909o was totally encrusted with crud. Andrew, remember that encrusted disc that we thought was a button? Nope!! It was the token that says Fire Insurance and Real Estate City on one side, and C.J. SPURK / OVER / 101 S. ?EFF. AVE. It cleaned up pretty good. Anybody know what the black thing that has a tip like a pencil is? It rang up 12-38 on the ctx, and was about 5 inches in the ground. Anyway the Mystery and Suspense is over, hope to see everyone at the potluck next week. I'll be out again this morning, bright and early, before it gets too hot. HH EVERYONE PLEASE NOTICE I DIDN'T FIND ANY SEATED COINS. YOU KNOW WHY? ANDREW IS HOARDING THEM ALL!!!!!:devil:
 
:clapping:AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on all of your finds this months!!!!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!:please: :please: :drool:
 
My goodness Nathan, you're finds are VERY impressive and BIG congrats on the Spanish Reale. Do I see a pendent in the future on a silver chain? You could wear it proudly. By the way, I love that tiger eye ring also. She's a real beauty. Love all the finds. Thanks for sharing them with us and the world. BIG BIG pat on the back and cheers to you! :cheers: and BIG congratulations on ALL the finds! We're both proud of you. HH, Nancy
 
A [size=x-large]HUGE[/size] congratulations to you Nathan and I'm glad you shared your mystery find with us. To find a Reale here in the Midwest is VERY rare indeed and it is truly a priceless find for you that you will remember forever.

The black carbon "pencil" is an anode for an arc light I'm pretty sure and the token is from Jefferson Street.

You have had a fantastic month of hunting Nathan, one you will not soon forget, congratulations again.
 
Awesome finds Nathan and yes im hoarding them all haha. I dont think the crud is from a fire. I think the area yoj found them in used to be a swimming hole. Or at least under water for some time. Congrats!!
 
WOW!!! Absolutely awesome finds. What a run you are on. You now have a coin in the 1700's and that is something to be very proud of. Not many people have made the 1700's club. :cheers:
 
Very impressive sir, that is something to be proud of. I even learned something by reading your post. I always thought that bullet hill was in Detwiller.
 
There is another hill in Detweiller Park full of bullets but it only dates back to World War One and 45 cal pistol bullets are the keepers with over 500 found so far and many silver coins from the 1900's. The PREMO bullet hill is in Glen Oak Park that dates back to 1861 and has over 200 69-cal three ring mini-balls (bullets) found so far along with Civil War buttons, tokens and coins. Both were discovered by me and shared with all. Ain't I nice.
 
Well where have I been? So where is "tot lot", I read alot about it too? Seriously, where do you guys park,when you go to Premo bullet hill?
 
Let's send Dave a PM or Email with specific information. We are not the only ones reading these posts.......:devil:
