Awesome find, I always wonder what was going on in the area and how the person who dropped the old coin felt when they realized it was gone. I would imagine in 1833 money that 1/4 real would be around $5-$10 in today’s money. I know I would be bummed if I lost a 5 or 10 spot! Lol

Way to go Jimmy! That’s a nice old Real! There’s gotta be some more old Spanish silver in there,
