Found this at an old 1832 house that used to be tavern. 1712 Spanish Reales. My oldest coin. I still can't believe that I found this one. Still dirty

Small letter on the right side of the shield (on the reverse side of the coin) will determine the mint city.
Great save,

I found that a couple years ago and still can't believe I found it. I have heard of them but didn't think they're would be any around where I live In Ohio. What's really crazy is the lady that let me hunt turned me down on detecting her property a year before. She is actually just a renter and she told me the owner wouldn't even let her own family members detect at her house just down the road. So I decided to stop back by a year later and she called the owner and she must have been in a good mode because she told the renter that I could go for it. So the fisrt day I detected most of the property and found a few small coins, buttons, etc and came back a few days later and out near the driveway I found it. I k eq immediately it was a Spanish coin and took it straight to my van and wrapped it in a paper towel.
