3030 finds 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...

[Don11971]

It is 2 reale I just look look through a magnifying glass and seen it was a 2R sorry about that .
I don't know much about reales

[del]

Don , a 2 reale is a large sum of money back then to loose and was often called "two bits"

[Don11971]

Del..
would that be equivalent of a quarter?

What a beautiful surprise. :congrats:

[NAGOLOCOP]

Very nice, Congrats.

[Don11971]

I'll digger... That's the oldest coin I dug around here.. When you was down we was going after Boy Scout silver...( which I still do).. But now I been doing a lot more Field hunting which is producing alot more older coins... You can come down any Tim!

[Digger Don]

Very Nice Finds. I have't hunted a field in a while. I think I'll start researching again and give it a go.
Congrats on the Reale & 2 Large Cents.

[Don11971]

Digger Don... The snow will be flying soon it's the perfect time to do research... I try to do research every winter... It helps me get through...

[Isaac]

[Cheap Thrills]

Awesome for sure , congrats .I would love to find either one:thumbsup02: . Actually today I will be thrilled if I come home with a silver Roosie .:lol:

[RIdirtdigger]

[aloldstuff]

Three fantastic finds. And in Ohio....

Would love to find a 2 reale or even a 1 reale and you found your's in the 1st three minutes of the hunt. :congrats:on a great day

[Fire Fighter 43]

Wow! Those are some great finds, WTG

[The Rebel]

You killed it for way out in Ohio! WTG on the 2R!

[Tony Two-Cent]

That is a wonderful find, Don! Spanish 1 Real and Half Real coins are a little more common, but 2 Reales aren't found very often. That's a nice big piece of silver, and over 200 years old!
