Spanish Phillip V Silver, Bale seals, Buttons, and more. Christmas was a day late.

We were planning on going to try a new permission, but couldn't get ahold of the land-owner.
So we decided to go back to old faithful instead. This place has been on fire with all of the recent rains, and today was no exception.
Ended up with another half real cob. Was beginning to think they were all gone.

A few more musketballs and a couple cool lead Bale Seals. One has some letters that I cant make out, and the other large one has a several crowns on it.
The seals are my first, so im pretty excited about these. Ive dug a ton of lead here, but nothing I could positively say were seals until today. Anyone seen these be4?

Also managed to dig a small FCM button with no shank, a nice 1888 IHP and a 1912D Wheatie. And 2 Brass what is it's.
One looks like a leather ornamental that has some clips on the back. This thing looks like it was the latch to a pouch. Any ideas?
Also a brass item that looks like a hair-pin. Could there have possibly been stones in the rings//////

My first pipe stem, a cool ornamental piece of pottery, a bead and part of a torso and arm. Ive dug a ton of pottery here, but this is the first neat designed piece.
Also dug this neat gold plated item that I think was a hairclip. Found both pieces in 2 diff holes. Thought I had gold for a minute, but I think its plated.

I gotta tell ya, if that was my site, I probably wouldn't be looking for another until I was walking around in utter silence!
Still lots if good quality finds coming out!

Crank the sensitivity and drop the discrimination and see what happens

It's like your old saying... it's not going anywhere, and most of the time that's true, but that doesn't mean that something won't come up to keep you from getting it! ....and we are learning all about that.

Yeah I got a solid lead on what looks like a good 1870s site, wanna hit it? .... wtf!

The seal with the crowns may be related to this -- it has some of the same features...

Cloth Seal, Colchester Dutch Community Seal, Crown Bay, 1571 onward

Another cob? Eight of them? You are really fortunate to have a site like that. I'm surprised that you haven't found any higher denominations though. My only cob is a 2 reale.

I'd say that's right, an early Dutch seal... it's a keeper.

Thanks Bramblefind. That is it. Mine has the large crown in the middle and 2 smaller up at the right and left top. I can also make out part of a circle to the left of the large crown in the middle. The back of mine also looks similar. Thanks for your help on the ID, again.

Man what a stretch you've had. People just don't understand how hard these sites are to locate. Incredible cob. I'm loving your finds bud

Thanks Ahab. Its been a great run. Glad you are enjoying the pics.

Thanks Ironhorse. Went back today, and my finds were meager compared to yesterday, but I still got a few keepers.
It aint over yet. We gave the land-owners some IHP's and stuff today. Were in like Flynn.

Thanks Steve. Yep. Ocho. I agree, Fortunato. My only ones are halves. I really thought we would find a larger one by now.. Guess we will have to keep trying..

Very nice finds congrats

Thanks Trapper.
