Sir, lemme tell ya. I've been swinging one for 40 + years. Yours is prolly my top one or two channels to watch. Why? Adventure! I'm surrounded by miles of concrete & you get to hike into America's past! NOTHING cooler than that! The finds you make are of course awesome but the scenery and again, THE ADVENTURE in finding them is the cool part for me. I envy NO man but if I did... Well. You get the point! Love your vids & will keep watchin as long as you make em. Would LUV to know the tectors AND settings you're using too!! Thanks!!!

You seek in a fruitful area basically untouched by metal detecting peeps. Of a time long ago in America. More, more I say. And try to video a full acceptable time span like this one.

Brad, HUGE congrats on the find of a lifetime! VERY happy for you! Sometimes the larger a high conductive target is the the worse the tone sounds. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I've ran some tests on different metals before and have had that result. Sometimes big silver is a large, crappy, thunky sound. Especially if the angle is weird. Have you been able to tell if it's authentic yet? Even if it's an old counterfeit, it's just as historic. Sometimes the old counterfeits are actually worth more that the real ones. (at least when it comes to some of the early US coins) A long time ago I sold a counterfeit seated dime for about $50 when the real coin would have been worth about half (it wasn't a detecting find or I would have kept it)

The Pillars of Hercules, the old and new world, as well as, the Mexico City Mint Mark are clearly visible on the reverse of the coin. From the oldest Mint in North America ! A bucket lister and a half ! A good United States One Dollar Type Set Collection of Silver Dollars, In my opinion, should Always begin with the Spanish 8 Reale and end with the most modern One Dollar Coin of today !

No worries Terrance! This particular coin has been floating around social media the last few days and it’s appearing as though it may be a period counterfeit created by the British sometime in the 1790’s, which would make it potentially more valuable than a normal Eight. Still waiting to hear back from some folks far more knowledgeable than I!

That chunk of silver is an amazing find but I have to admit I am intrigued by the lead nail. If you find more information please share it with me. Again another great job editing the video.

Congrats on an awesome find! Lucky for you no previous owner had to "make change" and cut off a "piece of eight".

After you posted your teasing trailer, I KNEW it must be something special, and it did not disappoint! You had an all around good day, you found some other nice things, that are great finds by themselves. Congratulations Brad, you work hard to get whatever you find, you deserved it!

Just a guess, but that unidentified pointed object looks to me like the hand of a clock ...
