I found my first 1829 Spanish 8 Reale in Covington La (60 miles out of New Orleans). I feel truly blessed.

Great Peace of 8! That could have been used in the slave trade or even worse things from back in those days. Blood money, no doubt about it. Great peice of history you saved right there!Next you have to find Emperor Maximilian's long lost Imperial Mexican treasure, legend says it's still somewhere out in the desert waiting to be found. It consists of tens of thousands of Silver 8 Reals such as the one you dug, and gold coins too :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Yeah if this 8 was used for slave trades it was definitely lost by a democrat :)

I think it was lost after it was used to buy nourishing meals and Thanksgiving turkey for Orphans in the orphanage. The guy that sold the food to the orphanage felt guilty about charging anything for such needy children. When he discovered that he had lost it he felt the guilt lifted and his life was changed. Then you dug it up The End.
