My oldest silver so far...1764 1 Reale!

[JW15]

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a while due to a bit of a slump as well as being preoccupied with this and that. First, a humble apology is in order for not posting congrats on the spectacular finds that MANY of you have made recently and on that note,...CONGRATS!!!

Now, yesterday I got lucky and received word that my privy spot was half open (hay field) so I hit it for a few hours yesterday and a couple today. In those hunts I pulled several old buttons,musket balls,1879 IHP,tiny pocket knife,1905 V nickel,etc. However, on the way out today I was halfheartedly swinging back to my truck (broke the armrest on my detector) and picked up a sweet deep signal. After I pried all the field stones out of the way I saw this beauty (1764 1 Reale) gleaming up at me which happens to be my 5th Reale in just under a year of detecting! Thanks for looking and best of luck to you all out there! HH!

"VTRA QUE VNUM" is Latin for "both are one", meaning that both worlds, the Americas and Asia/Europe shown on the two crowned globes, are in reality one world. That plus .9167 fine silver are a great combination.
Congrats,

Hi and thanks! Just a quick heads up, I'm from Massachusetts and this area was settled predominately by the English. During colonial times colonies used currency from other countries such as England,Spain,Ireland,France,etc. Most of these countries had colonies in the "New World" and the coins they produced can be found right here in MA as well as several other states. Here's a map that can give you an idea...http://www.learner.org/biographyofamerica/prog03/maps/index.html

Thanks for all the info and for the record, as a combat vet I commend you for helping to return the WWII dog tag to it's rightful owner.
