A first for me today, Spanish silver! 1721 Two Reales/Pistareen found at an old farm in a cornfield. Was about 4 inches down.

Entry level POS that I found in the thickets along a river.

That looks like a high quality counterfeit to me. It appears there is a veneer of silver over a core of some other metal.

Started with a Garrett. I think I've probably tried everything make and model from 1977, all the way to the up to the E-trac and GPX 4800.
Nothing new as for me now, I am pretty much handicapped.

I don't plan to have it authenticated so I suppose that's possible. The place where I found it has been a farm for over 300 years, so I'm leaning toward it being real (or Reale...get it? :) )
