I made it out to my new site deep in the woods at my local community park near Pittsburgh. Last week found a 2 cent coin and my oldest coin a 1846 LC there. Today I found my oldest coin by far. I think it is a 1788 Half Reale. Here it is in the hole (note I parted the poison ivy to clear the target brush).
Here are some close ups.
Anyone know the origins of this one?
But wait, theres more. I also dug a holed silver coin, larger, but nearly as thin. This guy was really caked with a layer of blackness, but I did manage to get most of it off. Anyone know what this is, One Reale?
Here are the rest of this mornings finds.
Coupe of pics with both silver "coins".
If the holed piece is a coin it would be my first holed coin and the half Reale is my oldest and first Spanish/Colonial/1700's coin. It was a good couple hours in the woods...
Any ID help would be appreciated!!!!!
Good luck out there!
