1st Silver of The Year

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

I borrowed an E800 and took it to an old church that was built in the early 1800's. Here you have to dig iffy signals and I pulled the reale out at almost 9". It is a Carlos 4th, 1806, think it is 1/2 reale but I can't tell the mint mark.. I have found larger Spanish silver but none this small.. Can you give me more info on it? . HH Richard

Nice save Richard! I believe it is a Mexico mint mark {left of the pillar}.

You borrowed an 800 ? You got me scratching my head on that one lol.. very sweet find Richard…I have found several half Reales through the years..they are about the size of a dime but quite a bit thinner…. The one reale is about as round as a nickel…
very nice find….

Good job with the borrowed machine. Silver is always exciting ... Especially old spanish. A Realle is on my bucket list. Congrats. HH

I borrowed it from a friend... I am selling it for him.. Believe it or not, I detect mostly with used equipment because when I open a new one and use it, it is no longer new... Thanks Richard

Richard -- WOW! That's an incredible find, especially such a small coin at 9" deep! A Reale is on my "bucket list," and you nabbed a terrific-looking one there!

CONGRATS!

That is a very nice find. I would have had to catch my breathe after digging that up.

Curious. What Vdi number did you get? Can you test it now in the air? I suspect it might test like a zinc penny or at least lower than an American silver dime. Thanks.
