While I have the boxes out heres my Spanish George...Not much..Dont laugh

Tough to dig Spanish coin in North Georgia

Its taken me 40 years to get 2 LOL!

As worn as these are I'm sure they were circulated till the 1850s.

One on left is Half Reale,, one on Right is 2 Reale.Both Carolus III (1759–1788)

The 1/2 came out of a pre civil war Doctors house site in some nasty nails it sounded like a nail too..The 2 R. came out of a ferry crossing on the River first house site where the ferryman lived overlooking river.



That's it..Welcome to North Georgia colonial coins!

Spanish is hard to come by. Remember some of what I post I collect. Most I dig.

They have been hard to come by for me. After 47 years of swinging, I got my first one last Jan. A 1816 1/2 Reale. Those are Reale's Keith, hence they look great. HH jim tn

Years ago I had a Pillar Reale......not the same I know....LOL. It surprised me by finding a good sized musket ball on a trashy tin site. Found buckets of melted lead. Not so much of a hunted out site, just someplace one would want to give up on.

Don’t laugh. Here’s my Spanish. Took me 7.5 years to find. Only one with date-1784. All found in same general area. But over the course of the full 7.5 years. I still go back here to this area. Challenging area to hunt. Started detecting late Dec 2010. So the years are adding up now.
