I'm always amazed with beads that are found, alot of them are found here along the rivers and streams and I'd love to know how the hell they made them, some are so small I just can't even picture how it was done. Good luck on the coins Matt, with all the great areas you get your butt into it might be a good idea to use the money made from selling the dime and the Reale's on a decent metal detector. Just think about what you 'might not' be seeing.... Our you could rent me a room and I'll roll on out to Cali and be your 'sifter'...[;)]

As always looking forward to more dig pics my friend...[;)]

I do not think they are fake, the one on the right is silver for sure, heavily worn, the one of the left on the other hand does seem to be rusty but its not magnetic...

Thanks for the cleaning tip creekwalker, I'll put it to use!
silver will almost always be silver or pitch black tone.. yours are neither.. Counterfeit reales are alot better to collectors then a Real Reale...

Works like a charm! Don't leave them to long if heated. When done correctly, leaves the silver or the copper natural looking. This is the old WW2 era NRA cartridge brass cleaning recipe.

if it turns them shiny silver, copper or brass color you will ruin any collectors value they might have

Jim,....I think they rolled clay on a string, cut the beads, then fired them....
