Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

Went out by my house today in hopes of reaching 100, since I had other commitments over the weekend and couldn't hunt. :'(

Glad I got out, and when I got there, a few minutes later I was kindly greeted by Kimsdad, and later on Watercolor. :hello2:

I'm glad they were there, as Watercolor saw me digging my 100th as a doe was sneaking up on me. (Did the pic come out?) And Kimsdad snapped the on-site photo. (Thanks) :thumbsup:

99th was a '64-d washington, 100th was a '38-d Merc, and 101st was a '18-d Merc. All D's....Must've been "D-Day" today.....to find my 100th. :laughing7:

My dad got the spanish silver last week or so, but when he dug it it was super green......So he threw it in some vinegar, forgot about it for a week, and then he remembered he threw something in the vinegar, and a week later, the thing came out shiny.. :thumbsup: I think it's a 1 reale :dontknow: Not sure. If anyone knows, fell free to chime in. It is dated 1802. His oldest coin found in the U.S.

The next goal is 125.. Let's do this!! :icon_pirat:

Enjot and HH!

Congrats Jon, looking forward to your next hundred already!
As far as your dad goes, and we know he goes all the way, tell him I said sweet 1 reale! Very nice condition for these parts, too! Don't think they fetch more than 5 or 10 bucks but their HTN value is inestimable!
 

Re: Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

Big congrats!! It was a pleasure to watch you dig up that 100th :wink:
And wish your dad a congrats on that half(?) Reale :thumbsup:

When I saw you sweeping over that hole behind that big tree, I noticed you had a
captive audience behind your back that was moving closer and closer to you :o
I had my wife's point & shoot camera but was too far away for a clear pic.
Anyway. . . this is about the best that lens would do in a pinch.

WTG on the 100th silver of the year L4S!!! That reale is really a neat find as well. You just never know what is under the ground until it is dug. Congrats to you both. TMAN...
 

Re: Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

I found out it is a 1/2 reale and not a one reale, but still really cool.
 

Re: Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

Congrats on your 100th silver Jon!!! :hello2: :notworthy: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wow, I think the Reale deserves its own post with some details. What a find!!!!
 

Re: Century club @ 1pm today + SeatedSr's 1802 Spanish silver.

Congrats on 100! Did that Real come from here in Illinois? I guess they were legal tender til 1857 or something like that.
