Found this beauty at a site my buddy Charlie found. We've found some indicators of quite an old site. Far older than we thought.

It's a Globes and Pillars 1/2 reale, Mexico City mint,
Join assayers M.F. (MX). Fernando VI Del Gratia;)

I really enjoy any Spanish silver. This is my first of this variety.

Sure is a bute... And a great find...
Has some "wear" and "character" to it...
BUT / AND...

Anything from the 1700's is a banner in my book.

Amazing find! I have found colonial coppers, but I am still trying to find my first colonial silver.
