🥇 BANNER Appalachian Pirate Treasure!!! 8 Reale!!

Appalachian Pirate Treasure

I’ve never been this lucky in my life… I’ll try to make this as fast as possible. So! I was sifting an over hang (ON MY PROPERTY, I feel like that’s important to clarify) very successfully by my standards, I’ll post the pictures of the artifacts after this. Anyway, I was sifting some fresh soil when I see a round disk drop out of a dirt clod on the the screen, trying not to get my hopes up I reach down and pick up the abnormally heavy object. My hearts beating like crazy, as I turn it over Instantly realize what I’m holding.. a beautiful 1786 8 REALE!!! Made in Lima Peru. I literally almost cried, after years of metal detecting I just happen to pick this up out of the ground by chance with no detector??

The overhang is on an old wagon road that passes by my family’s homestead house in West Virginia, I won’t get any more specific haha. Not nearly as deep as the arrowheads of course. And I thought I was lucky when I found a half reale! Thanks for reading, enjoy the finds!

Oh! If anyone has any info on time period of artifacts or various names of them Id be grateful to hear about what I’ve found!

Awesome Reale!!! Congrats!!! I'm thinking late Woodland, but just guessing.

Congratulations!! I've seen some amazing things happen over the years in our hobby, and always take down notes of the best, and I'll be doing the same with this one. Sometimes one is just left without words. This is one of those times.

 

[BuckleBoy]

I think I’d do some metal detecting in that same spot!

I spent a good day scanning every foot of dirt on that hillside after that haha, didn’t find anything else good though oddly enough

Congrats on the 8 👍👍
Very nice collection of points, maybe post up the query in NA forum. (If not already)
Very knowledgeable members that will ID the finds.

Nice array of Indian artifacts. Those rock overhangs were used by the native Americans for thousands of years. My brother excavated an overhang near Morgantown and found a lot Indian artifacts. Nice surprise finding the 8 reale there. Early settlers must have used the place for shelter as well.

Nice coin - congrats
