the three brothers - the explanations

[GRAY GHOST]

the1781 half real was found in 1995 by a whites coinmaster 3 at 6 in. in staunton, va. the 1773 2 real was found by a bounty hunter pioneer 202 [yeah, a bounty hunter] last summer at 6 in.here in colonial heights, va. the 1795 2 real was found almost exactly 2 years ago at an old house in richmond, va. at 8 in. deep by a [again] pioneer 202 bounty hunter. you know, i spent many years of my hobby disregarding and not even putting a thought toward bounty hunter detectors... if any of you think theyre toys,[like i did] then the proof is in the pudding...all of what i found today on the battlefield post are the direct result of it... surprised even myself. ive had 3 separate coronaries finding these things, so i hope you enjoy the pics... and please post your finds, no matter how small. hh,

It's quite a rush, ain't it?

Thanks for the pictures. I'm the guy who asked everyone to post some previous finds. Love those reales!! I thought for a moment, that I asked a taboo question, when I posted it. I got no responses. I was just about to give up. Kind of like when you tell a joke at a party and no one laughs. Thanks for saving my embarrassment. I know we can buy some of our finds for a couple of bucks, but it's the thought and fun we had along the way, that makes them special!!! Thanks for sharing

Don't know how it is where yaw from. But down here, hood ornaments are getting hard to come by.

I was lucky to find this little gem.
