My First "Reale" Find and some relics
TnT2000 and I decided to try a new spot we have been researching. the day started so foggy that it was a little difficult seeing the road getting there. After being lost (just a little lost) we stopped and bought a local map and were able to find the spot. We got out and walked behind the truck and I realized I left my tailgate open for the 60+ mile trip. Fortunately the detectors survived the trip without falling out.
We went into the heavily wooded area and got nothing but staticy signals everywhere so the day didn't start off good. after several hours of diging hot rocks and pull tabs I managed to get what I believe is a "Bridal Rosette". The next target was some type of buckle with a wierd face on it. (Any help with ID would be appreciated). After another hour of junk signals I got a solid quarter signal on the XLT @ 1.5 inches. To my great surprise It was a spanish reale 178?. (Last number not readable).
I don't know what type reale it is so any help on that would be greatly appreciated. The rectangular item is all brass with a number 1346 on the inside. Possibly the trim off a mail slot. The ring appears to be an old hand made copper ring. The forks will be a present for my wife for her birthday and I hope she will be happy with her new silverware. So after a rough start to the day Things turned out great.
Thanks TnT for all the research and the spot to hunt.
Thanks for looking
