Which spanish silver is a half reale

[jabbo]

I dug a dime size silver 1788 Carolus III and a dime size silver 1810 Ferdinan VII. Are these half reales? Which silver coins are half reales.

yes, sounds right size wise....i know the 1 reale and 2 reale are marked with a 1R and 2R on the rear side..... i dont remember how the half reales are marked on the rear..... also they are like half the thickness of a dime.... cool finds....

Booty, thanks for the info. These things are really thin.

Very cool finds congratulations, i have only dug one colonial silver a 1777 reale, cleaned up well using the reverse electronics. I found it with the garrett grand master cxiii.

Mike, That was a nice find. I had a Grand Master cxII that I bought used. Had it a short time, then sold it. Sometimes I wish I still had it.
