Hi All,

I returned to my Spanish colonial site over the weekend and found some more cool stuff. See photos below. First, I found ANOTHER Philip IV 1/2 real cob from Bogota, circa 1621- 1665. This is the 2nd one I found at this site in the last couple of months and you can see the other one in this thread (http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/516589-good-day-3-silver-spanish-cobs.html)! This one weighs 1.2 grams so looks like it has been clipped like the other one.

Then,
I uncovered an 1842 Bogota 1/4 real coin, which is a tiny, but really neat looking coin. It is also the 2nd I have found at the site (the other is an 1846 version).

Finally, I uncovered my first 1 real (weighs 3.5 grams)!!! Super excited about this as I have only found 1/4 and 1/2 real cobs so far. I would appreciate some help with an identification of this 1 real from the cob experts. Not sure if it is possible but hoping it is. Thanks in advance!
