I thought I would post my 4 - 8 Reales I have dug over the past 4 years here in KY.
All 4 are counterfeits but only two of them have great detail.
Maybe one day I'll get a real one, not that it matters, I kinda like the counterfeits :icon_pirat:.

Happy Hunting,
HB

This last one I thought was for sure silver, and still do. I had it weighed and tested and it's obviously counterfeit.
I'm with you, I'll take all the cft's I can get, a real one would be nice too :thumbsup:.
Yea,you need a Real...real :icon_scratch: I even have one dem!LOL!
I was thinking the other night,and I know of a fellow that has dug near 100 Spanish coins(?)and he recently stated he had never found an "8",either!

Well I have one 1 reales and 2 1/2 reales that are real :laughing9: so I'd like to dig a 2 reales and a real 8 reales at some point
 

That last one looks like the real deal to me.
Why put forth that much effort?

Hope the next one is real.

They're real. But not mint issued.

Amazing that you have dug FOUR of these dang things :headbang: Best wishese for a 5th :thumbsup:
 

Amazing!!! Somebody was making a good bit of money by passing them around. I bet if he ever did get caught it was tar and feather time.
