My second target of the day! I’m very happy with it. This was found in a historic part of a town in a field next to water.

It's a beauty--but not 1804 when the assayer's initials were "TH"
Your assayers are 'F T' (Francisco Arance y Cobos - Tomás Butrón y Miranda)
The FT initails were only on coins of this series in 1801, '02 and '03.
From the series: 1791-1808.
.896 fine silver
Don in SoCal
