Last hole of the evening and out pops this beauty!! About 8 inches down at an old house nearby. A first for me!

Sorry about the sideways pics. When attaching pics from my phone it always does this unless I take the pic horizontally. Anyway to turn them?

That is gorgeous. Congrats. -Lisa & John
 

Green with envy. Never found an 8 reale before ! Congratz.
 

Legit and beautiful...the way we like 'em on Tnet. Congrats!
 

I found a 1829 Spanish Mexican 8 Reales here in Louisiana and I'm still chasing that high. Mine was about 8 inches and solid black. One of the best feeling of my life.

Gorgeous coin. Now I want one. I've never found one of these. Have found so little silver in my digging career when I find some, I'm still clueless what it is until it's out of the ground.
 

Don't matter which way you photo that silver. It's big, and old, and a sweet find in anybody's book. Congrats!
 

I always click on a "found an 8 reales" thread with a bit of hesitancy. Pleasantly surprised by your recovery, though. Great hit!
 

Wow, very nice - especially for this area!
 

Nice find, any denomination of reale is still on my bucket list
