11th Spanish Silver for the Canefield Bandits!!!!

[shanegalang]

This is the 11th Spanish Silver pulled from this house site. It was Shanegalang and the Tesoro Cortes' turn this time. An 1814 Ferdinand VII. Buckle boy had no sooner mentioned that he was surprised that we hadnt found any gun flints at this location and wouldn't you know it he walked down a row and found just that........an English gun flint! I also pulled a flat button with the back mark that reads "S Double Plaque Paris". The usual pipe stems, a small cuff button and a smashed thimble were also dug. The coin is very interesting, it had been soldered or braised on perhaps a cuff link. It's my understanding that this was not usually done with a genuine silver coin but this one was. Certainly rare. Hope you enjoy, Shanegalang

When BB described the solder marks, it sounded like a cufflink. Are you going to let BB find the mate to it next weekend?-LOl. Nice finds Bud. You know Nana has dubbed you two "The Louisiana Legends". HH, Quindy.

That's a great find my friend. I was super happy to eyeball the gun flint (something I did not have one of in the collection yet). That is an excellent coin, and the fact that it was made into a sleeve link is fantastic.

Cheers,

Buck

The Field that keeps going and going and going Congratulations to you and Buckleboy. That field has been really good to you guys and as long as it is producing Spanish, I would keep on working and griding!!! Great job!

Thanks Kirk We intend on pounding the site over and over again until we find absolutely no silver! I guess what isn't immediately clear from our post because lack of pictures is the 800 or so pounds of iron that we have removed from this site!! It has not by any means been an easy task to pull that silver out of there. But the lots and lots and hours and hours of hard work is paying off.

The quote button is the one underneath the reply you'd like to quote. LOL. Buck is gonna find one. And so are you. There's more Half Reales in that massive field. Time to grid the plowed up side.
