No need to downplay finding one from the 1st Republic of Mexico.  Heck, weren't a lot of the Spanish ones coined in Mexico?

You're right - its just that there are no 18th century First Republic reales, and I am still search for my first 18th century coin.  That 1/2 reale is the earliest coin from which I have been able to extract a date.

I'm curious as to what %-age of time you spent in battlefield/encampment sites, given all the military artifacts you show.

I would say of the approximate 150 hours of swing time I got in over the past 12 months, 90% was at what could be considered relic sites.  But not all the relic sites I have access to are CW encampment/battle sites or at least not documented assume.  Probably 50% is at sites that are historically known battlefield, encampment sites, all the relic sites are on private permissions.
