    That 8 Reales is where the term pieces of eight came from as it was commonly divided into 8 pieces, also leading to the term 2 bits for 1 quarter of the dollar. Fantastic find. Very well worth the watch.

      I always thought that pieces of eight coins were Spanish coins made of Gold. This coin was a silver dollar made here in the US. You might want to Google it for more info.

      @@davidkohler7454 That is the difference between fact and fiction. In pirate novels this may have been the case, but in reality before America was allowed to mint money, they used Spanish silver dollars which were divided into quarters, halves and eighths.

      This is also why a "bit" was used as the name for computer 0/1's, because that was 1/8 of a register. That is, each memory address contained 8 of them to create a number from 0 to 255. They were named after the "bits" which were 1/8 of a coin.

    Pure speculation here but, if there ever was any military activity on that site, the keyhole plate with the #8 could very likely have gone to some supply box/crate. From day one, the military has had to keep track of all supplies. I imagine with a key that big it could have been a BIG ammo crate, cannon balls maybe? Loved all the finds and way to go Vern, thanks to you and other landowners kind enough to let us motley crew practice our hobby on your property.
