1763 Wilver! I'm in complete shock tonight.

I just beat my oldest coin by 100 years. Previously, my oldest coins were 1863 and 1864. I beat them by a longshot tonight. This is now the oldest coin I've ever dug. A 1763 Spanish 1 Reale? Any info on this coin would be extremely helpful.
I went out at 6pm tonight for a short hunt. I was on my way back to the car, after only finding 1 wheatie in about a hour, when I got a good sounding deep signal. This coin was about 9 inches down. I almost died when I saw the date, and condition.
Thanks for looking.

Wow TBK!! That has gotta be the nicest reale I've ever seen come out of the ground,Congrats big time!!! The LC is nice too but its of no real consequence that you dinged it.We dig alot of them here in the NE and they're usually in such terrible condition that unless you have a key date there's really not much monetary value anyway but it's always a thrill to dig a coin from the late 1700's- early 1800's!!Again congrats on the finds and the banner!!!
