2 REALES! Lots of other coins!

[OxShoeDrew]

I had some things to attend to this morning so I couldn't go out with the boys... but staying nearby paid off! I was able to get a 3 hr hunt in and found a hot spot! I didn't leave a 20-yard area ...and I have to say it was kinda chilly just standing there digging coins
This dirt looked like it had been undisturbed since colonial times...no roots either

1910,1920,1944 wheats
1863 Indian
1800 2 Reales (bucket lister)
1961 Rosie
2nd Shirley President clip from this site.
Round thing with numerous patent dates from the 1910s

The reales isn't from Mexico City so I have to figure out where it was made. Thanks!

You are killing it Drew ! Nice hunk of silver! Nice 2 hunks of silver actually.

Awesome finds Drew! Man, what a spot and range of history. Mintmark looks like Lima, Peru if I'm not mistaken. Any ideas on the round thingy? I found something similar last week (didn't post a pic) and I think it's an old coaster. Congrats as always.

Thanks guys! John here are some pics of the round thing. It is almost the size of a rosette....and thanks for the Lima info!

Oh Man , you are cooking !!! A 2 Reale and a Barber quarter in the same hunt .......... I don't believe I've ever seen those two found together in one hunt ever posted before and with wheats and a Roosie for garnish . Awesome hunt Drew !!

Outstanding finds Drew. Not sure what the initials are on your 2 reales, but this might help ID it. Looks like it might be ME, which I think is Lima.

Hey Drew,

It's the back part of a Depollier Waterproof Watch, which were quite popular back in the early part of the 20th century. There were several models made so not sure which model yours went to. Here's a link to an old add. Patent dates match up exactly.

Great looking 2 reale & Barber. Awesome finds.
That's one coin I'll never find here in Illinois.
Thanks for sharing

[OxShoeDrew]

It sure looks like a Lima coin 10X thanks!
Thanks for the ID John!
Thanks for kind comments everyone!

Mega congrats on the 2 real Drew , be honest I bet you were shocked it was a bit larger than a modern quarter huh ??

[Trooper Bri]

Wow, that's a nice hunt Drew! Congrats on knocking that beauty off the bucket list.

[Mr. Digger]

Amazing Drew....congrats! What a thrill that must have been pulling that 2 reale. WTG!!!!!!

[OxShoeDrew]

Thanks everyone, you know Dan, I wrongly assumed it was a half dollar equivalent because of its size, but I guess the 8 reales is a dollar...those things must be huge!!!
