Return trip to new spot gives up my first SPANISH SILVER !!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

This morning I hit my new spot with some results, 1839 LC and a SHIPS COLONIES & COMMERCE Token. This afternoon I decided to go back and search a little more. I am glad that I did !!! Screamer signal and only about 4" deep. I could right away see the date of 1776 and knew that I had my first Spanish Silver She is a little rough like maybe it has seen a fire Dont care.....I have freekin' SPANISH SILVER !!!

I have included a group shot of todays coin finds

And truly Spanish, not Mexican. Mexican assayer's initials would be FM; not shown on this coin.

Thanks for setting me straight...... again It is a good thing that there was no one in the woods when I found the coin. The way I hooted and hollard, they would have thought that bigfoot was near

Don.......

Is the only difference between the Spanish and Mexican coins the assayer's initials? Is one "better" than the other?
Now that I have found one of my own I guess that it is time to learn a little more about them.
