Some silver finds beach and yard spanish 1/2 Reale and A beautiful monogrammed, solid silver spoon handle

[Mark kus]

A couple of hunts a private yard yields a 1919 mercury and a 1948 Rosie and a beautiful piece of a solid silver spoon handle that’s monogrammed. I thought I had a that’s monogrammed. I thought I had a silver half dollar.
I then headed off to the rocks on the river got a 193? Washington and a 1/2 Reale in the rocks where I like to detect a local park gave up a few more silver dimes near me a Buffalo nickel can’t wait to get back out on the river oh and picked up a newer Yamaha 25 for the skiff! Now my reliability issues are no more!!!

Very good finds! Love the Spanish silver! In 35 years of detecting , I have only dug 2 Spanish silver coins - a 1775 2 Real and one that the date was worn off. Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!

Very nice old silver spoon handle. Better than a coin. Also, great job on the old silver and others.

Any famous names that can be tracked to the initials on the spoon handle? I'm guessing that any makers marks are on the part of the spoon that is missing.

Not sure Ted the owner of the property had a set that looked close but not from his I still have the Mother in laws next door to detect
