Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

Went out by my house today in hopes of reaching 100, since I had other commitments over the weekend and couldn't hunt.

Glad I got out, and when I got there, a few minutes later I was kindly greeted by Kimsdad, and later on Watercolor.

I'm glad they were there, as Watercolor saw me digging my 100th as a doe was sneaking up on me. (Did the pic come out?) And Kimsdad snapped the on-site photo. (Thanks)

99th was a '64-d washington, 100th was a '38-d Merc, and 101st was a '18-d Merc. All D's....Must've been "D-Day" today.....to find my 100th.

My dad got the spanish silver last week or so, but when he dug it it was super green......So he threw it in some vinegar, forgot about it for a week, and then he remembered he threw something in the vinegar, and a week later, the thing came out shiny.. I think it's a 1 reale Not sure. If anyone knows, fell free to chime in. It is dated 1802. His oldest coin found in the U.S.

The next goal is 125.. Let's do this!!

Enjot and HH!

Congrats Jon, looking forward to your next hundred already!
As far as your dad goes, and we know he goes all the way, tell him I said sweet 1 reale! Very nice condition for these parts, too! Don't think they fetch more than 5 or 10 bucks but their HTN value is inestimable!

Big congrats!! It was a pleasure to watch you dig up that 100th
And wish your dad a congrats on that half(?) Reale

When I saw you sweeping over that hole behind that big tree, I noticed you had a
captive audience behind your back that was moving closer and closer to you
I had my wife's point & shoot camera but was too far away for a clear pic.
Anyway. . . this is about the best that lens would do in a pinch.

I found out it is a 1/2 reale and not a one reale, but still really cool.

Congrats on 100! Did that Real come from here in Illinois? I guess they were legal tender til 1857 or something like that.
