That big coin George found could be a Portuguese / Brazil 10 reis? I think I can make out a crown at the top. Not too many of those found. I found a 1763 some years ago but its not much better - although that coin may clean up yet?

That's a colonial silver you don't see every day, much better that a Spanish Real. The NJ copper is another excellent find.

Yep, thats it and way better than the piece I found. The other side will have the date and likely a roman numeral X in the middle. I can see it reads Petrvs for King Peter but there are several it could be so let us know the date. I dont know the styles enough to determine wether its 17th, 18th or 19th century.

wow, you see Spanish silver here on a regular basis, but that's the first I've seen of that type. Nice finds!

 

[treblehunter]

looks like a 1731 windward island 12 sol. Much scarcer find for these parts than a reale! KILLER FIND!

Thanks Frank, funny story, George dug what he thought was going to be a LC, it was deep, he came over and dropped a relic in my hand. I then got a target and dug the exact relic, you can see the duplicate relics in one of the pix. Just before we were laughing about your comment to George to plant a LC for me to find. It caused allot of confusion until I figured out we found two of the same relics. I thought George planted it! Haaaaaa
