piece of eight

[rogue]

went on what we thought was going to be a civil war hunt and found a piece of eight research says 1707-1711...7 flat buttons two with gold gilt, what looks like a trigger,and a bunch of small round balls (pistol) Guess the site was older then we thought..lmao

Thats A1, I wonder which is more rare, a cut piece of 8 ( like your's cut to make change), or a whole one.

I'm not sure if it's rare???? I don't know to much about reales, except what i researched to id this one. To me half the fun of this hobby is learning the history...and a three hundred year old coin....I'll take it !!!

Very cool. If I found anything 300 years old, I'd probably keel over!!
