<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2908183, member: 10461&quot;]I also have a <b>1781</b> Spanish Mexico half-real in my detector finds album.&nbsp; I dug it from an old colonial-era sand roadbed, though Civil War buttons and artifacts were found in the same immediate vicinity, so it was likely lost during that era. Most of the silver circulating here in Georgia up to the Civil War was older Spanish colonial stuff, though the US half dimes and dimes circulated too, in smaller numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think I have a photo of it and the coin is pretty rough anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I&#039;ll use this post as a 1781 placeholder in case I can get that half-real out of my album and make a picture later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
