Thanks, the Reale that's still in fair shape is from 1793 the other coins are too worn and the buttons say Viva la Nacion. Don't know if it's from the Mexican Revolution or Spanish origin?

Well done on recovering all that treasure :o
and the research :icon_thumleft:
Are you finding these at the old mine itself, or around the workers' quarters, or the like?

GOOD DEAL! Glad to see your research paid off. Most of mine turns out to be paved or posted.

Hey Johnny,
I'll be heading back there in the next couple of days. It's going to be HOT!! Last time I was there I started getting heat stroke and had to leave.
