1791-8 Reale...Large Spanish Silver..At Colonial site

[Brian W]

Hi everyone...I havent been out too much lately, Working too much...Friday night did some research on an old colonial site ... So on saturday we headed out looking for the site....It took about an hour to locate the cellar...It only took 5 minutes to figure it has been well pounded....The first 3 hours only produced 4 shotgun shells...I was hoping to find Buttons...Buckles...Or a Copper...But this site was working out...We decided to stay anyways...Im glad we did, after 5 hours of hunting we dug about 6 targets each...My buddy got a nice colonial cufflink...I got a tiny thimble...and just over an old stone wall..I dug this sweet 8 Reale...It is in great shape The first 2 pics are from my buddys iphone uncleaned...Took it home and soaked the dirt off in water only...I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Even as ugly as it is, it was one of my first older silver and for the rest of the day I checked my pocket every 10 minutes to see if it was still there. Just a week before a friend and I had talked about finding one but having no idea it was possible here we just thought it was a dream. Sure was fun walking over and making him guess what was in my hand.
