1747 Half Reale....Yahooooooo!!!

[xlt nh]

What a GREAT spot this new farm is turning out to be!!! This is my oldest silver to date...1747 half reale!!

Found it about 200ft from where I dug last weekends 1796 Liberty Cap. Grass is getting tall, so I'll have to wait for the cut to hit it again....Can't wait to see what else is waiting to be dug....

Bottom pic is the newbie (1747) next to a 1784 half reale and a well worn 1790 1 Reale that I dug...the Spanish collection is growing...

Great finds xlt. Do you find any colonial coppers when and where you found the silver? Found a handful of coppers this past couple years but no spanish silver which I think should be where I am find the coppers. Just curious. Congrats and food luck in your future hunts.

Thanks Everyone!

I've found quite a few coppers in this area, but only 4 Reales in many years of detecting...and all were found in fields.

I know there's an 8 Reale waiting for me out there....somewhere....
