I made the 1700's coin club!! 1/2 Reale!!

I am a member of the 1700's coin club baby!!! This was literally my 2nd signal of a short 2 hour hunt. First signal was a beer bottle cap. My ATPro gave off a solid coin hit at about 4 inches down. I dug my hole and saw a glint of silver pop out. I looked down and saw what looked like pillars and I knew...SPANISH silveR! OH my goodness I was so happy. I took my phone camera out and shot a video, but my microphone is acting up so no audio! I will post that to youtube in a bit. Anyway. This is my oldest coin to date and my first Spanish Silver and my first 1700's coin. I am feeling like a !!!!! Check out the blue toning this coin has. Amazing.

Went back out today and didn't find anymore. Looks like this was the only one in the area. I feel like it is my once in a lifetime find.

congrats on joining the 1700s club! For reference, it's spelled "real"...no "e" on the end. You'll always remember your first 1700s silver. Mine was also a half real, 178?. It holds a special place!

 

[zaxfire69]

testing123 thank you for the clarification on the real spelling.

Jay - I'll defer on that one, but I'd definitely be interested in a 1500s club. I've dug 8 Elizabeth I hammered sixpences dating between 1563 and 1594, and 7 of them came from one site. I've also recovered 2 jettons from the 1580s. It's gonna be hard to go earlier than that, but I'll keep trying. <img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1001728"/>

DAYUMN!!!! (Jaw hits floor). Bro you already won....

Welcome to the club. You happened to find a nice one too. I started hunting older sites and found more Spanish silver in the last year than in the previous 30 years combined including 2 - 2 reales and 5 half reales. Spanish silver is fun to find.

Hell yeah bro! Big congrats and welcome to the club! Found my first Spanish silver a few weeks ago. 1782 Reale. I acted like a lil school girl :-)
Hopefully we can join the 1600s club soon

Congratulations! Very nice!

Thanks everyone. I wanted to find one of these for so many years. It has been a couple of months ago, but I till can not believe I found a Spanish Silver coin. I honestly have to buckle down and do some more research in this area. I know there has to be more coins in the area. Once it gets cooler and Vegetation dies off I'm back in the woods. Thank everyone for commenting.

It's an awesome feeling holding Spanish silver! You're dead on about the thick vegetation. I've got tons of sites that I need to hit when it thins out. I can almost hear the buried treasure calling to me :-)
