Initialed Spanish half reale and Civil War relics

[Gregg3131]

Hit a few sites the other day. First one was CW site in Central VA which had both a camp and battles and it produced lots of bullets. Waist adjuster, my first kepi buckle and last hole produced the butt plate. Also had a deep "buckle signal" and looks like its part of a buckle as I can see an attachment hook embedded in lead? Could not find the rest....yet... Second spot had an old house site at one time and it produced lots of very small flat buttons all plain front and at end of day ended with this awesome Spanish half Reale with initials TB on it. Looks to be 1796.
