A couple more hours of park hopping produced the following. The 1/2 real was at 8in. I passed over a zillion dime and penny signals at 5in but when the trusty T2 says, "hey dummy... consistent penny signal (80) at 8in" I dig, and dig carefully! Thanks for looking!
PS Oh yeah...on the left is the largest button I've ever dug, shank attached.
PPS ...and that ring is sterling.

Thank you!! Hey, how come everyone spells real with an "e" as in reale? Am I spelling it wrong as real?
Every website I've seen spells it "real" as singular and "reales" as pural.

You are spelling it correctly, Drew.
There is no such thing as a "Reale". It's either Real (singular) or Reales (plural).
Half Real
One Real
Two Reales
Four Reales
Eight Reales
