Default Portugal Reis 1892

I just can't believe it!
I went to my church this evening and started working off the back yard.
2-1/2 hrs, 6 wheats ranging from 1933 to 1959 and my eye popper for this evening and one of my best finds yet. A Portugal Real 1892 in good shape. Rang in at 84 (I think) on the AT and was around 8" deep. It was a fairly faint signal as it was standing on its edge. I have know idea how much 20 reis is or what this thing is worth, any ideas let me know. Why on earth would this coin be in a small town anyways?


All my finds 85 cents and a piece that is interesting.

Im not sure if its a money clip or what?


Thanks for lookin!

Looking at the page on numista.com, they give it a "22" on their rarity scale with 100 being rare and 1 being very common.

Nice find in Indiana, though!!!!!

If I was you, I'd start hitting all of lakes in your neck of the state. I used to fish bass tourneys all the time and those lakes GOTTA be loaded with BLING!
