My first Spanish Silver!

[Phishfarmer]

Cold drizzle all day here but I went out for 3 hours anyway. I spoke to 2 guys I saw metal detecting on Monday and they told me who owned the land and thus a permission was obtained. I went over about 1/4 of this tiny field and found a piece of a Reale (Phillip V I think), an 1818 large cent (details gone), three flat buttons and a couple of widgets that the Deus likes to find. Oh... and a fair amount of copper and aluminum rubbish.

I think that Phillip V Reales were minted from 1700 to 1749 so if this is true, this is my first coin from the 1700's after 2 1/2 years in the hobby. If anyone knows what the coin is fer sure please let me know.

Nice cut 2 reales Pistareen. Most likely from the 1720s-1730s. You could possibly use the assayer mark to narrow it down

A cut Pistereen is certainly treasure. Big congrats on an awesome find.

Well played sir!

Man I love to hear about someone digging their first Spanish silver. It’s a beaut too - early and cut. You might be thinking “whole would have been better” but I think cut silver has more character. Congrats
