Hi All,

Hunted a 18th century house earlier this week. The small buckle was my first good find. I don't know how it is but sure liked the look of it. A little while later I dug the ornate looking object with the square in the middle I don't know what that is any thoughts would be great to hear. Soon after I dug the buckle frame which was a cool find. In the same area of the buckle frame got a nice solid signal and dug my three sided plug and flipped it over and stuck to the bottom of the plug was the 1781 Half Real. The dirt picture is exactly how I saw it for the first time and the look of Colonial Silver never gets old:occasion14:. Also dug another buckle and some kind of funnel like thing. Well it was a fun 3 hour hunt and thanks for looking.

Echo PerrerJ, nice finds.
There have been a couple trumpet / bugle mouth pieces found recently, that "might" be what your little funnel is ?

Thanks Rick, I don't think it is a trumpet mouth piece, I will have to take better pics of the funnel.
 

That Spanish Reale is in amazing shape Bubba:headbang:

Look like the top to an old flag pole..

Nice digs..

Thanks JB :thumbsup:, still not 100% sure what the funnel type things is but it could be that or what Hogge suggested too.

And hey Bubba i think that decor piece is from a Spadroon:thumbsup:

I found a 1796 one and if you look hard enough you can probably get a match.
