Can't believe my luck!

I've been detecting for about two months and have found tons of clad, 1 silver Rosie.....and today....From two inches down at an old farmhouse on the top of a big hill...a 1777 Spanish Real! My 8 year old and I were doing the happy dance and high fivin' for a long time We love this hobby it is in really worn out nearly flat condition but thankfully the year is pretty clear and the silhouette of the front and back are still visible. Still can't believe my second silver coin is 187 years older than my first

congratulations! That is a special find, and glad you were able to share the experience with your son.

The spelling is "real." If plural it's "reales." There is no "reale"
