Old Spanish Silver Today

[camb1]

Hit the old ghost town again today. It was a bit tough swinging in the soybean stubble, but me and buddy TC4 did well. He got several old buttons and a old jail lock that he donated to the local museum. I ended up with a nice bit of a Spanish Peruvian 2 Reale that I believe is a 1816-1822. Thanks for looking and HH.
