Sovereign Finds An 8 Reale Silver Coin In Schoolyard!!

I had been hunting schoolyards with my Minelab Sovereign in the Sanford Florida area recently without much luck, just a few newer coins.

I headed back to the house for dinner and my wife Sandra said it would be ready in about 30 more minutes. So I went across the street to a school built around 1908. This school had been heavily detected over in the past. When I got a signal, the meter read 420, which would be a penny. I was surprise to see something silver in the grass. I was even more surprised to see an 8 reale. I must have jumped 3 feet in the air. I ran into the house to show my wife and she looked at me and asked why I looked so red.

I showed her the coin and she didn't think it was real until I found it in the coin book. After I got my breath, I starting thinking how this coin ended up in the school yard. Workers have been doing a lot of clearing, moving shrubs and plants there. I think it must have been caught in the roots and fallen when shrubs were moved to a trash pile in the back of the school. What a find!
