POUNDED CELLAR HOLES* 1777 SPANISH REALE

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with Gary to hit some sites.they were nailed to death.got a tombac button & a convex button.a piece of broken shoe buckle a no date IH and while walkin the old dirt road,about 10 feet in front of me i notice a shiny disc just laying on top,figuring when i get to it it's gonna be a new quarter or nickel from a hiker.Get up to it and holy crap a 1777 one reale just layin there plain as day Glad Gary witnessed this as I wouldn't have believed it if somebody told me this. a mucky wet sloppy day of hikin old dirt roads.

Nice spot. I would be digging that road, looks like not many other people have been.

I didn't find it, but a nice US buckle was an eyeball find by the owner of a farm property after a heavy rain.
And, she wouldn't let me use a detector......guess she was waiting for another rainy day.
Great find.

Very historic area there. I am sure there are plenty more reales left for you. Very nice!

 

[Chocadog]

No offence intended but the coin is a whole lot better looking than that statue

No disrespect intended for the accomplishments of Gen. Knox, but that statue looks like the "Tin-Man" is ready to storm the witches castle.

By the way, great find!!
