18th Century Spanish silver and classic colonial buttons...

[Scrappy]

I went out in between the rain to see if I could score a few goodies. I finally made it back to a new site where I scored a Ferdinand VII 1/2 reale about two weeks ago. The result was a bunch of buttons including a silver faced and two wonderful beehive style flatties...




Bingo. 4" and a Lincoln cent signal.



Also found a nice little square of silver...



Some strange demon ring...


Looks like a piece of a medal, minus a wing


The reale looks like a 1790 Carolous IIII, Mexico City mint. Second reale from the site and my second 1790 1/2 reale.

Here's a pic of the three.







Enjoy and good hunts everyone!

Killing it no matter where you end up. I think you'd find treasure in the Gobi, blindfolded.

Nice finds. My guess is thats supposed to be a lion w/ gems in the eyes. I have one, much clearer lion w/ gems in eyes and mouth. Also, have seen a number of the lion rings found on colonial sites.

That's great info about the lion Gary. It's really great to have you back on Tnet bud. Congrats on that big-8

I like the eagle with shield most of all - nice digs!

Awesome scores Steve. I agree with Z.K., you can sniff out the goods anywhere you are. Have you ever tried hunting here?

Thx Jim. I haven't looked into the eagle yet, but the stamping and style likely makes it 19th century. Somewhere in my Internet "travels" I've seen one posted, and it was a medal, so that's where I'll start. Cheers

Much appreciated Aureus. Some of those buttons are the nicer ones, so the owners had some money. That's a good thing
