After a week of not much hunting except in the tot lots due to the heat and rock hard ground, finally was able to get across the finish line with my 50th silver of the year. I'm catching up Angel :poke:

Looks like a 1755 Fernando VI Spanish reale in decent shape :happydance01:. This would be my oldest coin and oldest silver assuming it is not a replica. Too bad about the hole :bangahead01: I guess my probe is too sharp lol

Hole or no hole, a great find indeed! Can you share what area you found it in, a yard, a park, the woods:huh: And how far down it was?

Awesome milled pillar silver, Randy! I bet that one was lost around 1760. <: :happydance01: Did you find it in the woods? Congrats on getting your 50th silver. :twirlingeyes:

It was a park, but a not so obvious section. About 4 inches down, and another 3 for the grass, or 7 inches or so from the coil.
