IdahoPeg Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Well guys, update on that silvery sandwich. I volunteer sometimes at The McLarty Treasure Museum and one of the professional treasure hunters came in today. I showed him my find, and he feels it is definitely two 1/2, or possibly 1 reales, stuck together. When I showed him this pic of the fiber pattern that had been on one of the sides before I cleaned it, he scolded me bigtime! I learned a valuable lesson...don’t go overboard with the cleaning. Apparently these small coins were in fabric sacks, and I erased the history there. But at least I think I finally found some Spanish silver....now I need one that still has its markings! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
