A couple of firsts for me

[Gene Mean]

I've been out there a lot finding ordinary treasures. Yesterday I found the 1 Reale Mexico City and the Navy button. I had been wanting a silver for a long time. I thought there was something wrong with the dang 800 because I was having no luck and then all of a sudden, boom! Any help with the Navy button appreciated. The back is very oxidized. Everything in raw form, I don't like to clean too much. In the group shot are a broken bell with the iron pea-dinger, the navy button, 1 reale, poor man's wedding ring, door knob, an arcade token that had me excited with the eagle(1960s- 80's), pocket watch frame, and an extra coin silver plate spoon.

Thanks for looking and keep at it! GM

Super nice finds GM. The reale looks to be in great shape. Can't help you with info on the Navy button, but it sure is a lovely specimen.

The Reale is so cool. I would love to find some Spanish silver! The button, IMO is British Royal Navy, Captain or Commander, 1774-1787. Nice find. I have found one of those, but yours is in better condition.

Holy Toledo! I hope you're right, you usually are.

Thank you. It will come to you when you're not even thinking about it. Like most finds I guess.

Thank you Trez. Yeah, it's that surreal feeling that I love when something so interesting comes out of the ground.

Awesome finds! Found my first two crotal bells last week. Have a weird fascination with them now

Thanks Cobra. I have a hard time finding whole bells. Congrats on your finds! Crotals are works of art.
