1781 half real, minted in Mexico. Before this my oldest coin found was a 1907 English penny.

Congrats! May many more find your coil. Judging by the condition you are on track for more nice early recoveries in that area.

Excellent condition with little wear. That's a drop from not far after the mint date. Congrats!

Wow, nothing like jumping back 126 years to beat your oldest coin date. Congrats on the Spanish silver. That one is in great shape.

Great find! My first Real was from 1775, the same type. Still can remember how excited I was finding it. Had no idea what it was at a time. Big congratulations! And many more!

What were you doing differently to get it, & is that spot cleared of all signals?
