I met up with Al again this morning and I was fortunate enough to find this 1783 1/2 reale, to date my oldest coin, silver or otherwise! And I finally got a silver quarter there, near where Al scored his seated and Barber quarters last week, and 3 wheaties. Also found the prerequisite buckle and what better time to find a Master's ball marker then two days before the 1st round of the Master's tournament! Rain chased us out but going back Thursday!
