3030 finds me my first Reale

[don11971]

Hi guys,
I got out today for little while with one of my hunting buddy Tom we went out to an old church that is now nothing but a soy been field. I was there only three minutes before I found my first coin I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled  out in 1805 8 Reales( aka pieces of eight)..SWEET!!!
In the next 2 hours I pulled two large cents 1845 and 1847.. So I think I did pretty good for Ohio...
My finds for the day...

Close-up of the Reales..

Thanks for looking guys!

Really doesn't matter what size Reale it is cause any day with a Spanish silver is a great day out. Then toss in a couple of LCs and your really cookin.
Good for you that's a hunt

Great coin and I think the rarest denomination of reales. I found one in that date range a couple months ago. That is an early coin for your area I assume.

Nice finds... I was looking at the coin wondering if it was one of those rare 8 Reale Minis.. They are very rare...
