Found this 1776 reale. Its date is only readable with a magnifier. You can see the DGI on the top right area. Not a very good example but it counts. Found in Indiana so it makes it even more rare to find.coin1.JPG
 
that coin I bet would have a lot of stories to tell if it could talk :yes: congrats on the Spanish silver Nalc :clapping::clapping:
 
I never sell my coins I find. In this rough shape has little value. I guess if it was and good shape and was worth 5000.00 I would be tempted to sell it. It shape allows me to avoid temptation to sell it. LOL
 
This coin was at a spot where a old toll booth was as in the 1800s. I found 4 other flat buttons also. I found this coin in the spot at or behind where the toll booth stood. I also found a 1864 Indian before in the same spot Attached is how I researched and grid off the area for searching. Going back today with my F75LTD2 to see what else I can pull out. I used my E-track with the Tornado last time. Found the Spanish coin with the SEF 8x6. toll house.jpgtollhosue grid.jpg
 
That is an excellent way to grid and find old sites! Looks like there are a few other homesites nearby to hit up too!
