Got the monkey off my shoulder early

[CTTodd]

I always figure that I will hit at least one Reale each year. Last year I didn’t get it done until December. It was a close call. This year I’m way ahead of schedule with this 1 Reale. It’s the nicest shape Reale I’ve ever been lucky enough to fine.
Very pleased to have it. Get out there.

That's a fabulous example, Todd! Is that one from Madrid? :congrats:

Excellent. I hope that you're future hunts will be better without the pressure...:lol:. Sweet looking real.

That's the nicest one I have seen dug and the fact that it's a Madrid is even better.

Beautiful 1756 One Real, Todd! :loveit:

It is in wonderful condition and as others have noted it bears the Madrid mint mark.

Congrats on your yearly One Real find! I am averaging one every 35 years. :lol:

Great find! Looks like it was a very early drop too. I only recently found my first Spanish. It is a quarter cut 2 Reale that I found on my trip to the UK. That gives me an average of one every 11 years! My hat is off to your skill and luck! Happy digging, Dave.

That is a beauty.

Thanks guys, I didn’t say I always got rid of the monkey but it is a lot of fun to try.

Wow! That looks like it could have fallen out of someone's pocket yesterday.
