1758 cut Spanish 2 Reale early 1800s lock cover

[Gregg3131]

Found my 3rd reale in 2 weeks at Colonial site in Virginia. All have come out in nice shape. I believe this is Spanish around 1758. Also found an early brass lock cover with the crown on it.

Yeap, the padlock hole Cover is Will IV period circa 1830.

Very nice cut Pistareen. Also cool that its not the more common Philip V variety

Congrats on digging that nice cut silver. The only coins I dig that are cut had a feud with a lawn mower. Maybe someday on one of my trips East, I swing my coil over a sweet cut silver.

Nice recovery on the silver, it's something that been on the wish list for so long that it's going white.
