New Poll: Who has found Reales, Who has found gold coins?

[halfdime]

I have found either a half or one reale, but never a gold coin. I don't know if this question has ever been asked before, and it may be interesting.

No gold coins for me yet, but here's my holed reale. Not as old as I've seen many here on TNet, but nice to find. (Sidewalk construction).

Why isn't anyone else posting their's?

In my almost three years of metal detecting, I've been fortunate to find an 1825 George IV Gold Sovereign and 7 Reales (5 Half Reales and 2 One Reales). Here's the Sovereign and my best One Reale.

$1 gold 1906 Lewis and Clark Exposition coin. Then I put it in the spine of an old bible for safekeeping and my wife sold it at a yard sale...

I've found a reale and a quarter. One of the reales is from Mexico and I found it in Ohio. Then I found a 2 bit piece at a war of 1812 site. I'll have to send the pictures to this forum when I get back from vacation.

HH, Ringfinder

P.S.
My partner found his first reale last week, it is a 1788 piece. I posted the pic this week, under the heading 1788 Reale found in dried up creek bed in Ohio
