That's got to be a rarity in New Mexico, congrats!

I've only dug a handful of reales, their a lot of fun to dig!  I have my eye on an escudo next

Thank you, my buddy and I have not heard of anyone else digging one in New Mexico, but who knows. Back in the day a couple of gold coins of came out of here, so we are on high alert ?

DanNM,  Not only did you dig a Silver Reale, but the detail is really nice.  Plus you saved some stunning buttons and artifacts too.  Thanks for the Settings, photos and story.  Yes, I think your detecting buddy wishes he would have said....wait till we can go together.  He is one easy going guy for sure.  Well hats off to you for recovering a Bucket Lister.
