Detecting in the snowFaux pieces of eight Spanish coin

On Saturday November 19th, with an inch or two of snow on the grass, I went metal detecting in the snow for the first time.  The temperature was in the 40's.  I stopped by Scera Park for an hour.  The snow would stick to my coil when I would let it touch the snow, building up until it became too heavy and I would have to stop and knock the snow off.  I first target I pulled out 4 quarters from the same hole.  On that hunt I found 5 quarters, 3 nickels, and one dollar.
I met up with dad at Scera park a few days later, after the snow was gone, and after work. In the short time I was out I found another dollar and a bunch of clad.  Some interesting finds were a copper button, and an imitation Spanish piece of eight coin (at least that is what it looked like to me).
