Been working a permission with cool colonial finds, coppers, buckles, etc .... Finally found my first half Reale, that celebration was short lived. Awhile later I dug a small coin out... I hunt in England so it reminded me of a hammered but here in New York? Sure enough after carefully dousing it with water the details came out. I had no idea what it was so I texted pics to my friends who helped identify it while I was still in the field, an Oak Tree Two Pence with date 1662. just incredible, I am humbled.
Photo with my first half Reale and Merc for size reference. I will get it slabbed. Thanks for looking.
