Today I found my first silver from this site..it's the same site that I found two 17th century spectacle buckles and it's a 1 reale cob! I was thinking I would never pull any silver from this site and was about to call it quits when I got a faint high tone amidst all the grunting out popped the cob. Now I have motivation to clear the iron and see what other goodies I can find. The site is 500 hundred acres but most of the old stuff is concentrated in a half acre near a spring. Hopefully someone will be able to identify it using my crappy pictures. I'm guessing it's a 1 reale since it looks like a 1 and not an 8, 4, or 2.
