A Nice Hotspot in an Hacienda

02/21/16

I saw this place in the distance when I was driving to a work meeting, something told me that it was a good place to detect with my X-TERRA 705. I began the investigation of the Hacienda, apparently it had existed since the late 1800, but surprises were about to see the sun.

The first afternoon there I found many interesting items, such as a religious emblem from 1928, some religious medals from "La Cristeada" , a nice silver coin from 1950 and many cuppers "Centavos" from 1880, but the best was yet to come.

The second day of detecting, I saw a field that caught my attention. After a few minutes of detecting I called my friends, Big Boss took the camera and I began digging a target.

IT WAS A 1748 Ferdinand VI of 1 real!!! The oldest coin I’ve found until now!

A few metres ahead the second surprise was to come, I dug another signal that was 2 Reales of CAROLUS III 1778!

That was a day to remember! We visited the Hacienda for 5 days, it has existed at least since 1750. We found more coins, a nice ring, more silver, bullets and pieces of a bell.

There are areas with a lot of vegetation that will be prospected in the next months. All the stuff was found with the X-TERRA 705!
