Spanish silver and a few indian head cents.

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Met up with Park Pirate this morning and was lucky to dig a few good ones. First keeper was a nice 1879 indian head cent that was a deep one. A short time later I dug the 1906 indian head cent. Then I get a signal that I thought might be something good. It was a nice upper right corner hit on the smart screen and very deep. I dug down a good 8" and see a small coin in the hole. Retrieved the coin but without my glasses I wasn't sure what I had. I thought it might be a 1/2 reale so I had Tony take a look with his superior eyesight. He confirmed it was a spanish reale. Date tough to see but it appears to be an 1806. In 26 years of detecting, this was only my 5th Spanish silver so I was happy to find it. The other 2 indian heads (1891 & 1903) were found at a different park yesterday.
