By far my best Day ever pt.2 spanish silver

[Gonehunting]

Well if you read my post earlier http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,316418.0.html
it has turned into the far best week ever..... I went yesterday and today and found more of the sharps ring tails a US button that has Phila W.P. on the back. Was told the William Pinchon only made this particular button in 1827. I found that yesterday.
Today I went and found one more button a scovill waterbury but it was only the back. I tried to find the rest of it, cause the back had a silver sheen to it.
I was about to head in and told myself I'll dig one more bullet. I got a 38 which is a wheatie and thought mmmpph so I dug it and out pops this silver coin....
I had no clue what it was but could barely make it out a shield with a pillar on either side, and some older script letters around the outside . Got home and did some research.. ....spanish reale... can't make out the date but who cares... 1st silver of the year.....1st spanish reale, 1st 1700's coin....man what a day. Thanks to VaYank54 for the button and bullet info...Really sorry these pics aren't anybetter but,,,, if I spent more on a camera and not a metal detector might not have found these. Many more days like this and I will be ruint.

Fantastic finds! Congrats on that old silver

Just a guess:
That Spanish coin is Carlos III (1759-1789).
It's size will determine its denomination:
1R=20mm
2R=28mm
4R=34mm
8R=40mm

Old military and Spanish silver... now that's how you do it!

Congratulations on your first spanish silver! It looks like a half reale of Charles the 3rd minted between 1773 and 1789. With better pictures I could tell you more.

I did a little "sleuthing" and realized that it is in fact Carolus III that "graces" the front of this coin.

I'm replying with my cellphone so i can't quote you all but thanks for you who has given info and thanks to the rest for reading. With that last weekend. I can mark three things off of my list to find. Spanish reale, cw (pre) buttons and bullets. Not many of any where i live.
Now if anyone could tell me where I could find a large cent and a cw buckle in se oklahoma I could scratch off the top two.
