I was finally able to get out and try my new E-trac today. Did not find a whole lot, but I think I made up for it in substance. One flat button, one pistol ball and one Spanish Reale, or rather change for a Spanish Reale... lol. Ohe yeah and the Mason Jar that dates to the 1920's I think.

That Spanish bit makes the whole hunt :yes: Congrats on a good hunt!! And yes, how did you like the E Trac? I guess if it finds Spanish silver you don't have to answer that lol Try matching the circumference up with a quarter, half dollar, dollar so we can tell if it came from a 2, 4 or 8 reales. That flat button has seen better days lol Nice musket ball. Great day for you.

I just call them bits, but it's value is a 1/2 reale. That's the reason it was cut in the first place, lack of change :rolleyes: I always thought bits were pieces of eight, but what the heck, let's call it what we want lol
