First Spanish Silver

[Riggleman]

Today i found my first Spanish silver. The coin rang up as a high 20s on the Equinox 800. From my research i think its a "cross" 1 Reale.

Would love some digger details. I run a Garrett AT Pro, and since this is my first time having a Garrett...details on depth, where on signal, etc. Thanks and super congrats!

Alot of questions on location. This was a field in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. The field had been plowed some time ago, we had alot of hits on hammered nails, however we werent able to pin down a house site. The coin was a hard hit on the equinox 800. After digging i was still getting something in the hole, after digging another ft down i dug part of a t-post. So this coin had to travel as a result of the plow. The coin was about 4 inches down and rang up a high 20 on the equinox. As for location, the area has a rich history of early colonists being in the area

Amazing coin, in amazing shape! My first (and only) Spanish was a half-pistareen just like yours. Mine was minted in Madrid, Spain.

I gotta say, the details on that thing are fantastic! I'm jealous of your denticles.

Now go back and find more!
