Congratulations on your finds gmanlight
Love the 1806 1/2 Reale and the Large Canadian Cent.
The large Cdn penny looks to be in pretty good shape, how's the reverse look?

Here is a picture of the 1881 Large Canadian Cent.
Not extremely rare though -- worth $2 in circulated or very worn condition,
up to about $20 if like new.

Thanks to all for the comments and views.
With the spring rain and summer heat and unproductive sites ,its been
a little slow with finds, but some quality ones.
This should keep detecting spirits up for some time.. HH Mike

I just spent a week in Cape Cod staring at my detector. I just didn't think it would be fair to the family to escape to go detecting. It was torture seeing all the potential sites. Luckily I found my 1/2 reale 2 weeks earlier back here in NJ!

Those later date reales are not as easy to come by as the 18th century ones. Any chance you can read the mint mark?
