This is pretty wild... my dad found this about 10 years ago in New Smyrna Beach, FL. It's a painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patron saint of the Americas. It's dated 1768. I'm trying to find out the right person(s) or organization for this. There must have been a Spanish mission there at some point. He also found a piece of eight in the same location.

First get it appraised by a few antique dealers, and then see if you can get it cleaned and restored a bit.
