1759 2 Reale....***UPDATE*** PIX AFTER SLIGHT CLEAN....

[outraged]

We hit this site at 9 this morning. Within 4 minutes I had my first signal...a 182- Large cent. I am sure the full date is there however I have not cleaned it up. After a hour of poking around My buddy found a BEAUTIFUL 1817 LC....While I was on my way to see it I hit another solid signal...+88 on my trusty ol Whites....Well at a half inch out pops this beauty... A 1759 Spanish Pillar Dollar 2 Reale....I love this coin. It is about the same size as a quarter. After that we decided to head out until this evening. I also included a 1847 LC that I had found last night but forgot to post. Thanks guys

Outraged is not a proper name for you anymore, how about "on cloud nine"? I love your posts and your fantastic finds. Thanks for sharing...Ryan

Awesome finds and that Pillar Reale is a beauty and in nice condition from what I have seen posted, the Pillars are usually very worn due to circulation! She will clean up nicely if you choose to clean it. I clean many of my silver farm field finds with a liquid silver cleaner, dip it for a few minutes then clean it off with a soft bristle toothbrush, rinse well, dry and repeat if you want to. Nice hot spot you guys have, good luck. HH, Mike

This site once contained a Colonial bank. I heard President Washington had an account there.

As Pres. Washington approached the bank teller, he stated, "Yes, kind gentlewoman, my account # is 1795...indeed, ma'am, I will withdraw a Flowing Hair half dollar today. I will save the Pillar 2-Reale for another time, thank you."
