I went on a 2 day organized hunt in Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. I found a few goodies including a nice 1844 Large cent. But this Spanish Silver One Reale is so incredible. It is always great to find Spanish Silver here in the States but this one is dated 1776 and was recovered right near Philadelphia. How neat is that!
