Rehunted a field site from the 1800s yesterday.

A lot of iron pieces, lead scraps, and a few hot rocks. I have hunted the spot at least 20 times and lately it has been slim pickings. I decided to dig all signals instead of just good ones. It paid off. I found these. They were mostly next to iron. The 16mm silver coin I think is an early 1800s Mexican half real. Correct me if I am wrong.

Ferdinand VII half real is my guess. I would love to have a day like that. Congrats on some very nice finds.

Nice Spanish silver! Early 1800's for sure. King Ferdinand VII's reign began in 1808.

Nice to be able to ID and approximately date that silver which is so worn!

 

[Silvermonkey]

Good for you! Patience and a hard day of detecting certainly paid off

I agree, it looks like a Fernando VII 1/2 real to me but that one is 17mm.
