Niagra:
I thoroughly enjoyed the video and watching you dig up those finds. I'll assume the coins were minted in Mexico City. If so, the 1790 coin is maybe 3-4 times more valuable (if in the same condition) than the 1801. The 1790 also came in two varieties (Carlos "IV" or Carlos "IIII"); the "IIII" being slightly more valuable.

If Mexican, the mint mark, "M", or a small 'o' over a larger 'M" will appear in the 8 o'clock position just below the "1" of "1 R" (one real).

I'll guess these coin's $ value pale compared to the value of finding your two oldest coins in the same hunt.
Congrats!

Your big mistake was RUBBING the dirt from them. I cringed when I saw you do that. What I can say to that is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER rub the dirt from a silver coin. You will scratch them. Those scratches cannot be removed and can seriously effect the value. Dump some water on them and soak the dirt off.

Congatulations on the finds. Just take some advice from a long time hunter. You could turn a key date coin into a filler with one swipe of the finger.
