the answer is no :eyebrow: ..... so before you ask if the copper tubing/pipe can count as a copper in the copper race it don't \:hammer: i don't care if you found it at a colonial cellar its still not counting lol rofl rofl

seriously Dave you've been on a little tear lately with the nice coins :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: , sweet reale :smitten: and finding an extra $70 to $80 bucks worth of copper laying around is ... well lets just say it'll pay for batteries for a while . :beerbuddy: congrats again buddy.

That head is creepy :shocked01: I hope you cover it up before you go to bed at night :shocked01: :shocked01: Nice hunt and congrats on the Spanish silver :clapping: If you send it to us along with other good finds, then you may be able to count all that scrap copper as a colonial copper :thinkingabout: We can be bribed lol You are definitely on a roll.
 
Were you able to read the date on the copper tubing? lol

Seriously, that is a mighty fine hunt in my book! I absolutely love the 1/2 reale! Nothing like finding a silver coin from the 1700s!

Congrats! :clapping:

question? what was spanish silver worth in relation to a large copper? such as...how many large cents equalled a reale etc?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure. I alway thought it was 6.25 cents. A one reale was 12.5 cents and a 2 reales was 25 cents and so forth. This article places the value a tad above a half dime so I'm not sure what that means lol But it is close to that range. I'm sure the value of Spanish money has readjusted itself all through the years though.
