My only find today 1782 Reale Updated Pics

[Con]

I went out today only for 2 hours. I wanted to check a spot I know and this 1782 Reale was my only find. I apologize for the first blurry picture that is before I washed it off. The others after I used normal water.Can anyone send me a link about this coin and tell me how I can clean some of the black off it without damaging it. This was the first Reale I ever found. The amazing thing was I used my DFX on a relic setting with some tweeks and it found this coin only in 2.5 inched of depth. I always figured coins this old would be 6 + inches. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for looking.

Awesome find, Con! I can only dream of finding such a coin.

I wouldn't clean it though, it looks great the way it is.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Crusader,
You know I noticed that when I took the Picture. You cannot see the E with the naked eye you need the magnifying glass to see it. I wonder if that may have been an initial of someone or someone was trying to check to see if it was pure silver and not a counterfiet or something. Just makes the piece a little more mysterious

I have seen Reales with letters or names scratched on them before. My guess is that it was done for identification purposes. Perhaps if a soldier was missing a coin, it could be returned to its' rightful owner?
