saweeet 1777 spanish half reale

[wwwtimmcp]

it was getting late today so I started heading back in to shore and got a very faint hit on the pulse 8x
I decided to dig anyway and after moving a large flat rock and digging 4" into the lake bed out pops my oldest coin ever a beautifull 1777 spanish half reale. I did my underwater happy dance and said my 3 prayers twice just to be safe. plus I got 2 colonial era buttons, and my usual sinkers .

happy hunting to all.

I tried taking the photo outside and it does not help. my camera just does not have the resolution for so small a coin. I even tried my rca small wonder camera and it was way worse. beyond buying a new camera I am open to suggestions. do any photo shops or drugstores offer macro photography ?

thanks crusader and all the others this is one very nice coin. happy hunting to all.

p.s. our class reunion was a blast.
