I can hardly believe it. When I saw that eagle on the reverse, I thought I had one of those Seated 20 cent-ers I saw someone post recently. I knew it wasn't a quarter, the size wasn't right. Turns out it's a 1867 Mexican 1 Real. It was deep under a root. Not only does finding the coin seem like a small miracle, the real miracle is that I didn't ding it uncarefuly digging it out from under the root. I don't know much about this coin. If anyone has any history on it, I'd appreciate it. Wonder if they were traded a lot in the early days of Utah statehood?
Also found a toe tap and an old clay marble. Looks like I need to go spend some more time at this site. A couple wheat pennies and 3 bucks in clad rounded out the hunt.
Thanks for looking.
