Since I started detecting Spanish silver has been tops on my coin wish list,
well it finally happened this morning with this 1781 half reale.
I can't imagine a more rewarding hobby, Iv'e been smiling all day!
I found a large cent first but as usual around here they're always toasty,
I can make out "Liberty" so I believe it's a Matron head but the rest is complete toast.
I'm looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow, we'll see if my knees will cooperate.
I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Congrats! Once you find 1700's Spanish silver, you start to realize that you're digging up lost history. Definitely a special find.

Now you can shoot for the 1600's! LOL! I'm still working on that goal after eight years of detecting. HH.
 
Congratulations I’m sure you’re still floating on cloud nine. Down here in New Orleans I have found every kind of real except the two and four also lots of half dimes But for the life of me I cannot find a copper I’m starting to think they weren’t using them down here I don’t know what’s going on. But I’m very happy you got your half real that’s something to be very proud of. Great job

Thanks Truth! I would seriously love to find the half dime, I don’t know why but every old copper I find is very toasty, I see folks finding them all the time in good condition, must be something in the soil here.
