First group, Post medieval copper alloy coin Spain, Philip IV (1621-65) copper countermarked four-maravedis, 1655 Possibly an earlier issue of Philip III. Lots available on ebay for a few dollars. What I have also seen is folks taking these coins and making them into cufflinks and selling them.

Second group, 17th-18th Spanish bar-style cufflinks. Looks like the makers mark or initial of the owner is worn. But the 3 dots on each side help in dating the piece.

Wow that cuff link is a very special find! Beautiful
 

I like the cuff link.:headbang:
 

Nice finds they look old and ligite
 

Holy smoke Bob! Way cool!

I agree with Ahab8, the cufflink is killer!!
I'd grid that place again by 90-degrees. . . there's still stuff there.
 

Got these, I assume meaning acquired and not dug? Coin is legit, but very little value for either.
 

These are something I do find from time to time, wish I could hit that silver....
