I would think there would lots of Spanish reals and gold coins lost in these vilages from wars,famine,rebellion,natural deaths and every day life.Who would want to look for treasure signs when you could detect and find all kinds of Spanish silver and other things.

Thanks rodger!

It was easy to read overview of early colonial history and helps lay everything out.

I was surprised at the number of Spanish so early on in the southern reaches.
