Well after a good bit of rain last night I took a walk with the E-trac this afternoon through a field that's produced spanish silver in the past. Today started off hot! First signal I came across today was a shaky 12-34/12-35 and bounced down into the ferrous range a few times. Steady enough to want me to dig it though. I thought it was going to be a piece of aluminum can the way it sounded, but was happily suprised to see this lil guy pop out of the hole. It looks pretty good to me!

Can I get some of you experts out there to help me ID this? It's approx. 21x16mm, and weighs in at 1.96g. I'm guessing a 1 Reale cob, but I have no idea how old it might be or under who's rule it was struck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in ID'ing it. Thanks for the help!

Happy Hunting!

I'm certainly no expert but here's a shot: Potosi Mint, 1 Reale, Assayer VR, 1692 Thats my best guess.

:icon_thumleft: My only divergent opinion on the date is 1693. The rest is correct. Ruler - Charles II
