Went out with several buddies today. John Deere Digger, T-bucket & TC4. We hunted at my ghost town again today and we had a great time getting out on this fine day. Boy did we cover a lot of ground today with not much finds but buttons and lead. I made the find of the day after about 4 hours of detecting. I was a long way from the others when I heard a loud silver tone about blew my ears out. LOL. I have found a few silvers here in the past year. Two half dimes and bits of Spanish Reales. I dug down about five inches and pulled out another bit of a Spanish 8 Reale that was from the 1790's. Here is my picture. Thanks for looking.

Interesting that you found one in the ghost town, camb1. Pieces of eight were once a "good find" and a few were dug up by the E-trac Heaven Group a few years ago just South of Cannon Beach Oregon in a sea cave .(I can talk about it now because the group has broken up) They weren't nearly as good condition as the one you found.

For all the readers in Oregon that are data mining and not posting, The name of the cave is HugPoint Cave , north of Arcadia Beach, not Hug Point state park.
