Trashy area gives up old silver!

I have learned that going over the same site and digging all repeatable signals will eventually pay off, as i found a 1814 half reale in the side yard of the home that I found the GW button and Large cents at. I have gone over the yard with the pro coil and got nothing but junk and 2 clad coins, but since I have switched to the 13" ultimate, I found an old pocket watch and now this small silver coin! I was using TTF and i had a 12-36 in the middle of some iron that repeated when i turned 90 degrees. It wasnt more than 2 inches down and i saw that nice roundness we all like to see in the dirt. If any of you guys are on the fence about the ultimate, i can say from experience it is a much better coil than the stock coil! The other tip I sort of discovered, is to shine a small, powerful flashlight on the coin from the side to be able to make shadows and see more of the details on worn-down coins. Without the light, you can see almost none of what you can see in this picture.
 
has anyone else tried the flashlight trick?
 
A great find - thanks for the post !

thanks guys, I am continuing to hit this site hard, I just found 3 more coins yesterday, I will post the pictures tomorrow.
 
Nice coin! I have not been lucky enough to find any Spanish silver yet.
 
I have been very lucky to have one site that has produced so many old and diverse finds. Most people here have a much larger collection of finds from many different sites. I am just starting out detecting hardcore since march, so once this site is cleaned out my more impressive finds will come from new sites. Dont give up hope, i have been surprised by my finds thus far.
 
Thanks for the well wishes everyone, I'm itching to get back to this untouched ground!
