Got a little dance in for a few hour this evening.found what I think is a half reale?not sure but I know it is not American,It is toasted,i just wish I could at least get a date off of it but it aint happening,lol.Also got what looks to be a barrel spigot? I have found a few barrel tap pieces off of this particular site so I am guessing that is what it is?Also caught two flat buttons and what I think is some kind of saddle ornament? I have found a few of these and never knew what they are,if someone knows I would be happy to find out.Anyway it was a good little hunt,It made me happy to find the old silver,just a shame they can't all come up pretty-HH everyone. 007.webp008.webp011.webp012.webp014.webp

Nice finds. I would take a Spanish in any condition it comes. I have yet to find a milled reale but did get lucky with a cob
 

Thanks man,when you don't see silver as often as I do it is thrilling to see any come up lol.Reales are about as early of coinage as I have ever found around here.Cobbs are on a different level.Probably possible to find one around here but I am guessing very unlikely.
 

Great 1/2 reale! Looks like a latter 1700's to early 1800's variety. The experts will chime in I'm sure. Great buttons too - you're on a great site so keep it coming!

Good stuff DI2:icon_thumright:
 

Jeez, I would need a box of Pampers if I found one of those.
Congrats
 

Great hunt DigIron2 :thumbsup: Spanish silver always makes a hunt great... that barrel spigot is awesome. I think those spigots are the coolest and really want to dig one. I found some broken brass that people on here IDed as part to a spigot that goes into the barrel, which means the rest should be close by, but I've pounded it hard and big brass like that should turn up.
 

Two words...

GO BACK !

Oh... and 2 more words...

Well done.
 

NICE FINDS YOU MADE!!! GOOD LUCK AND KEEP IT UP!!!
 

Nice relic and Reale find!
 

I find so few silver coins anymore that I would LOVE to have found that one.

Nice hunt! Good saves!
 

Another nice hunt. You have been doing great on the early stuff lately.
 

That's a real Real, I bet you can see enough on that reverse to get a good ID.
Congrats, I think that is, (I can't remember) a Spritzer spout I believe. I might be wrong, but that's my guess.
