It Got Real Again Today (silver)

[F350Platinum]

Today was a cold one. 43 and pretty high wind. Decided to just hack around, scouted a really old abandoned house down the road. It was too close to the main drag and I only found some junk and a penny, so I moved on.

Went back to where I found the beautiful old breastplate. I haven't grid searched this area yet but will eventually. It has been dry here for over a week so the ground is getting like concrete. It's going to rain the rest of the week, however.

Wasn't really finding much, lots of can slaw, junk iron and a couple of buttons. The field is huge, about 100 acres, but I was just covering about 2 where a house was until about 1967.

Took a look around and saw this tall old tree off in the distance. When Chase G was here, he mentioned looking around what I think he called a "signal tree". I walked down toward it hearing nothing in my headphones even in all metal. Got to the tree and wham - a 21-22. Kinda shocked me! I figured well great, at least I'm gonna get an old penny... Nope.

1785 Half Real, Mexico mint. All mine (I now have 4 of these) were minted in Mexico. Mint mark is the M with a circle over it on the reverse.Signal Trees are a good place to look on a farm. When it's hot people will rest there, pull their handkerchief out of their pocket and drop their money. 😀 Make sure the tree throws shade on the farm during the hotter time of the day.

Not a big haul, but a satisfying one. Heck I woulda been happy with the buttons. 1991 Zincoln.

Great job on the finds, and I know that you will be here again with a lot more.

Happy hunting.
