This happened to me also. I drained the power. Recharged it. Then was able to pair it without issue.

That's a beautiful coin by any measure, I find a fair amount of Spanish silver but nothing that big. I'd probably mistake it for shallow big iron, what ID did you get? Congratulations!

It came up as a 93. It was only about 5"but it was on edge. It was the only signal I got over 90 in the 2 hrs I was in that field. I started to head out to the entrance of the field to wait for the others. We were going to move to another field. We had only dug a few flat buttons and a ton of modern bullets. When I got the signal I thought it was most likely a can. The entrance to the fields tend to be trashy close to the road. To be honest I dug it because I was waiting for them to catch up. And it was the only VDI above 90. Even when I first had it in my hand it was so big I didn't think coin. I said to one of the other diggers I think I got a token or something. I wiped the dirt and saw the HIs and top of the pillar and said holy crap. I was so lucky I didnt destroy it with my Lesche shovel. I dug the plug quickly thinking probably trash. I wont ever do that again.

Yes, Its multiple fields on this farm. Another digger got a 1784 2 Reale. 5 coppers have been found so far. There are tons of modern bullets in these fields. So we are weeding through them. 

I recently been invited to hunt this colonial farm. After digging about thirty modern bullets. I found this 1823 Spanish 8 Reale. Still cant believe someone actually lost this coin. Never imagined I would find one.

Thanks Aaron. I really appreciate and learn from the videos you have posted on the Tarsacci.

I been to a few DIVs with the GPX and didn't set the world on fire lol. Sometimes you just don't walk over anything good. Sounds like the Tarsacci ran stable in the red dirt and got good depth. Very positive signs. I will definitely give it a try in Culpeper my next time down.
