Hello friends
I recently received information from a cousin who lives in another village in the same valley.
The availability of Internet mapping service gave me the location of a chapel in ruins of an ancient settlement of two or three houses of which only ruins remain. As it is within 5 miles of my house I went to locate and study the place.
The place is outside the village, meadows at the foot of the hills with some trees. The house in ruins, its architecture could be the fifteenth century, more or less. Around the house 3 plots separated by three roads.
Yesterday I went out after dinner, 15.30. I was tired because I had worked 5.30 at 14.00 and had to go back to 18.00.
I started searching around the house in ruins. A lot of trash and a coin peseta 1944.
I changed the site across the road, an old medal, a buckle and an old coin appeared among thousands of signals 72/74 of which only I dug 5 ointment tubes were all for cows.
I went to the last plot. It was the plot had more liked because it has the original grass, not an herb grown for forage. Among many signs of iron were appearing different coins. At times it was raining lightly but I was not ready to retire until time to return to work. When I calculated the time, I initiated the withdrawal.
Then I started to hear the strongest signal, but had three points, very close to each other. I dug and among stones of an ancient building three 16 Maravedís coins were appearing.
In summary:
3 x 16 maravedís years 1662, 1664 and 1664 King Felipe IIII
3 counterstamps seventeenth century (Kings Felipe 3º and/or 4º)
1 x 8 Maravedis King Felipe IIII No date
1 coin Dobler King Felipe V -1700/1745
1 coin 2 maravedís Carolus II 1695
1 coin Carolus IIII 4 maravedis 1808 (the last year of this king and the beginning of the War of Independence)
1 coin of 5 cents Alfonso XII 1877
3 coins 1 Peseta, 1944, 1944 and 1966
2 coins 10 cents aluminum peseta 1965
One religious medal eighteenth century in cooper.

A brand aluminum comb Beter two roundball musket, a small buckle,
two pieces of lead and some more junk.
They were three hours of search, of peace, tranquility and enjoying nature. I have to go back soon because I've only watched half of this plot. It was a very satisfying and full day.
Thanks for looking
Coming soon ...second part on Sunday morning ... do not miss it

I'm in total awe. That's a terrific map. It looks like you have a handle on things.
