Been a while since my last post - Had to put a scan of this one up for all to see. It's a 1766 Spanish 1 Reale - I found in a soy bean field in Berks county this morning while detecting with my brother. Don't get out as much as I'd like to (been so busy lately), but finding coins like this makes me itch to get out more often! Anyone have an idea of what a coin like this is worth?

Boy, looks to be in good shape! What state is Berks County in?
There is a guy out here that finds Reales almost like pull tabs!:shock:
 
Berks County, Pennsylvania.
This is my first one - would love to find more.
 
wish i could find one of those beauties on my farm in adamstown pa. where abouts in berks did you find it?
 
East Earl Township - my brother received permission from the farmer to detect the property.
 
WOW! That is a fantastic find! Excellent shape for being in a farm field all these years.
 
Way to go, man! My buddies and I have been finding handfuls of early-American and Colonial coins in Lycoming County, PA this year.
