1795 2 Reales!

[Nick79]

Well I'm not sleeping tonight. Dug a dream coin for us here on the west coast. Cant get much older than this one on our side. Rang up a bit choppy between a dime and a quarter on my equinox 800. Down between 6 to 8". Cleaned it for about 3 hours and I think I'll stop here. The crust on this reminded me of that crusty white stuff aluminum gets but much harder. Thanks for looking

Oh wow, that's a real treasure. It's almost unheard of to find 1700s coins around here (with the exception of the occasional Chinese cash coin). Way to go, crack a cold one tonight to celebrate!!

Thank you! The best part is I won a detector, gave it to my dad and he is hooked on it now and was with me when I found it. He's only been out about 10 times so it was great sharing the moment with him

If I may ask a question because of my own ignorance. U.S. history was never my thing, so is there a particular place where reales are found. What I guess I mean is, can they be found anywhere any US coin could be found or only where civil war fighting was happening. I dont really understand the relationship between Spanish money being in US territory. Could someone give me a quick history lesson on this. I hope I didnt set myself up to get flamed to bad.

Very nice save! They're here, but few and far between. One really has to be off the beaten path!
