Man some nice temps for south jersey and dont have the time to get out and hunt. O well spring is comin. I just wish it would hurry up lol. It would make my year to find a reale. Hh&stay safe
Rob Plotts Hi Rob! The weather has been wonderful for January! Perhaps a bit of a sneak peek for one of the next videos: I found a 1/2 Reale this past weekend-- it'll be in an upcoming video. Thanks for watching and hh!
I found 3 reales so far. just a bit of info, the reales came in different values . I found 2 reales, ( face value ) or denomination whatever you want to call it . happy hunting !
You’re close! The coin in question wasn’t the 1-real coin-it was the 8-real coin, a.k.a. the real de a ocho, the Spanish dollar, the piece of 8, or the peso. Chopping that 8-real coin into 8 bits made each bit equal to 1 real, not 1/8 real. America’s pegged decimal dollar thus gave a value of 125 mils (12.5¢) per 1 bit/real.
Thanks for teaching me something
Interesting history bud. Never knew that! Thanks for sharing
What’s the connection between the two-bits Spanish Reale and the music notes though?

Joe Butch I have yet to find an 8 Reale (or whole) yet! Soon I hope! Keep digging!
Awesome video...

My life is complete now.
8 bit = 1 Byte
That makes 25 sense!
