First Spanish Silver of the year - 1751
I got out over the weekend and nailed my 72nd Spanish Silver, a well worn 1751 pillar style half real. This also keeps my streak alive of finding at least one Spanish silver for 10 consecutive years now. I also got a few buttons and a Matron Head Large Cent that looks like it went through a nuclear holocaust. Both coins have seen better days, but I'll take 'em
