Three Centuries of Silver - Reale, Seated, Barber and more

Got out for a hunt yesterday morning and came away, much to my surprise, with 3 centuries of silver. I've found half reales before, but it was a surprise in this particular location. Can't tell for sure if the date is 1785 or 1786. The 1858 Seated Half Dime was a first for me. The Barber, Indians and war nickels were a bonus.

I should add as I didn't post last week that I had went to the same site last week and although no silver coins, it was an interesting hunt with a few Indians, Shield Nickel, V Nickel and a silver cross.

Nice variety of old coins. I take it these came from a field. The indians and nickels look like the ones i find in fields around here, pretty ate up by fertilizers.
 

You really took a step back through time on those two hunts. Wonderful finds!
 

Actually they came from an old park.

old park! That probably has someone rushing out and buying a ctx3030 to hit their old park.... Nice finds!
 

Don, AWESOME park hunt! Love that old silver. Your post title does not do it justice (perhaps worth editing?...). I'm glad I decided to check out the post titled "Th." -Tin Foil
 

Thanks VP. Shame I couldn't re-edit the title so it showed up correctly.

Nice variety of OLD finds! I wish I had access to a park like that to keep my skills honed.
 

Lots of great old coins! WTG!
 

Amazing hunt, Don! Congrats on what would have taken many of us months if not years to find!
