On my last trip to Mexico i found these coins wondering if they were cobs I found several others but those were all hacienda coins dated 1820.

Great finds. 2 of them are cobs. Looks like a 1/2 reale and a 1 reale so far.

I remember the nice finds you made awhile back. Nice silver. the two irregular shaped coins appear to be cobs. the others look like 19th century Spanish and Mexican silver. Nice stuff!

Did you clean them in the second pic?

Pending more info on the find, I'm voting banner on the cobs and spanish reales.

Those are really cool finds. You lucky rascal. I am way jealous.

I found a 50 Centavos last year... looks like you found one too! GL&HH.

Very nice !- were these found "all over the place" or in a small defined area of the ranch ?

I found them in a part of the ranch where my dad says the hacienda was he cleared it and grows corn their now.the el camino real goes righ through his ranch it goes all the way to Mexico city. Two people have found gold caches in the past haven't got lucky yet.

No that is how they were found.

 

[Cross Potent]

Thats a really cool spot. You too might end of finding some gold out there.

I am of the opinion that Mexico may hold a great deal of treasure. An untapped resource. Not too many of us gringos would dare to adventure for it without a full posse to tag along with. I'll bet that an enterprising person of Mexican decent could organize and guide detecting adventures south of the border.

Your 5 centavos is silver, .9027 fine,1.353 grams and appears to have a date in the 1900s.
Your coin was minted in Zacatecas within a series that ran from 1870 to 1905.

The coin to the upper left of the 5 centavos appears to be a 1/2 real, silver, .896 fine showing the bust of Carlos; the legend reads Carolus IIII.
The diameter should be 18 mm; if it's 20mm, then the coin is a 1R. Both the 1/2 and 1R series(with that specific legend) ran from 1792 through 1808.

Thank you for the info so they are cobs?

 

[thrillathahunt]

Nice appetizers! Keep hunting that site.....I envision much more to come. Two of them are cobs.

 

[Mackaydon]

The two I described are not cobs; only the odd shaped ones are cobs.
If you do close up, in focus pics of both sides of the other coins, we may be able to ID them.

Your Mexico City minted 1794 Carlos IV (marked Carolus IIII) is a 1/2 R if 18mm; a 1R if 20mm, a 2R if 28mm or a 4R if 34mm.
As like other coins of that period, the coin has a fineness of .896 silver.
