Toasted copper and cut Spanish silver I think

[toasted]

Found some musketballs and a few other colonial items. Also got a toasty LC and what I believe to be half of a half real. Diameter and thickness are right and I can make out a letter R and some roman numerals. Dont think Ive ever seen a cut half real before though

Awesome hunt, congratulations!

I sure love the old coppers and Spanish silver!

Nice early finds! Boy, the rodents certainly had a good time gnawing on the old lead.

Great finds. I think the reale may have been broken versus cut. The cuts back then were well done.

The corner is chipped off but the main cut is smooth and right through the middle

Around 300 years of field mice gnawing on them I would guess

Thanks. Wish my coin finds weren’t consistently toasted or damaged
