This was dug today on a homsted built in 1810. Some other relics dug were some flat buttons and a 1801 large cent. I believe this is silver and not in the best of shape, but if anyone can point me in the right direction for an ID, that would be great. The 1st picture is what I think is the front and the second is the back. I'm not real sure where to begin my search as I have never dug anything like this before. Thanks in advance!

The front is hard to see...but the back looks to be a Milled Bust 1/2 or 1 Spanish Reale .

Gary-
Thanks my friend! I see it now. Could be my oldest coin! What I thought was the front is really the back. Now if I can just get the date to come out. There really is nothing I can do, is there? It's either there or gone right? Thanks again!
