1797 Spanish Half Real - Isaac Brook 1812 Halfpenny

[Aureus]

Hey everyone,

Decided to go check my St-Lawrence spot again before the winter settles in. Well it's incomparable target wise to my first hunts over there, but still managed a few interesting items.

My very first:

- Carolus IIII Half Real 1797 - I will leave it as is, no extra cleaning (my 7th Spanish from that particular spot)
- Isaac Brook Halfpenny token 1812-1814

Also, an unknown halfpenny size coin and a neat looking gold guilt button from mid 1800's found on the ground a few feet away.

A cool little hunt!

P.S. There's a picture of the total of my Spanish silver from that particular spot at the end of the post.

Man you're in detecting heaven at that spot. Those are all fantastic finds, and I'm curious what the unknown copper turns out to be. The group shot of the silver is just sick.

Well well well this is probably the least shocking thing I'll see today....my boy Aureus pulling a beautiful old silver coin! Great job man. You are really on a great run

Very nice hunt, congrats on the silver! The half penny looks like it has a 1816 date on it, any details on the other side? Great looking button also to top off the day.

That spot has given up some incredible Spanish Silver. Such a variety of other great finds also.

Most of us won't find that much Spanish silver in a lifetime - that's a truly incredible spot. Congrats on some amazing finds.

Thanks man. Was surprised to have pulled so much from that spot. But unfortunately I think it's pretty much done... Around 35 Halfpenny's and 7 Spanish silver coins is not something I have seen before.

The unknown, if thin & brass is most likely a Jetton.
