Hit an old cartpath today near my house.

1775 is a half reale???? any thoughts on value?

I believe the other 2 coppers are King Georges......I can make out a bust when I wet them and angle in the light.


last 2 pics are of the better copper cleaned up a bit....2nd must be a counterfeit, much lighter in weight

Very Nice! Amazing how an old Spanish silver reale can look so good after 235 years in the soil.
I just received my new E-Trac today, so I`m looking forward to finding my first silver (what ever that will be) when I learn some more about this machine.

awesome hunt! hope those coppers clean up!
 

The green copper is a Connecticut for sure. Nice going.
 

Congratualtions on the Spanish Silver! :occasion14:
 

1 casper2Z.JPG...COUNTERFEIT MIGHT BE MIXED WITH ZINC - I FOUND ONE THAT I THINK OTHERS MISSED BECAUSE IT HAD ZINC
MIXED IN AND RANG IN AS CRAP BUT I TRY TO DIG IT ALL - THEY ARE LIGHTER AND COLOR IS OFF
