* uncleaned dark patina
* date (1694), mintmark (P - Potosi), and assayer (VR - Pedro de Villar) on BOTH sides
* nearly complete mint name (Potosi) in legend on pillar/wave side
* decent cross, even if only 3 arms
* a little light in weight, but OK
* I don't mind the die split, in fact I kind of like it on this one
* sharp impression on edge of strike near word "Potosi" is kind of neat

I'll trade it for that coin you found with the star on it.

I doubt you would find it anyway. You will get a BIG iron response from your detector first....
