Had my best hunt ever. Went with two buddies and had 7 hours of fun. It is amazing how fast the time goes when you are having fun and finding great finds. I found $11.42 in change and the below pictured silver coins. My buddies found clad ; next time will be their turn to find silver.
According to what I found on the computer the Spanish/Mexican 1/2 real was minted in Guatemala in 1813 under direction of the Spanish crown. Spain directed a number of it's colonial possessions to mint coins. These coins were used in early America but I was very surprised to find this sitting barely under the surface in upstate New York.
Just started detecting in April and have found 5 silvers. My favorite is the seated dime- just love how it looks. ...So much fun...
If you have any more info on the 1/2 real I would be very interested. TY for looking. Happy hunting All.
