Hello friends!
Today show the results of a one hour hunting in a nearby field, the currency of the first photo is a Seiseno Barcelona mint in 1643, it is difficult to find these coins so well preserved and were made during the War of the Reapers. (Lifting of Catalonia) also finds a few 18th-century to 20th.

Hi Colin !
It is very difficult to find these coins in good preservation, although manufacturing is a bit poor that were made during the war in a big hurry, it is a coin made ​​with the metal war seized in the battlefield, a mix of everything types of metals.

a coin made in Billon (mixture of silver with other metals) etc ... what is important in these coins is the date and state of preservation .... this coin is medium value . but not bad for a one hour in fields close my work.

Great finds for only a 1hr long hunt Hispan!

I really like this spoon!
How about sending it over to me, I'll get it restored and add it to my collection!
Or how about we trade for something that I've found?
