I found this Spanish spur a while ago,but I havent been doing alot of detecting as with the price of gold I have been after that.Several people said they wanted to see some spurs,I have several more but dont have time to dig them out right now but I do have this one on my desktop so here it is.I had found several stone corrals that were out in the middle of no where and nobody seemed to know what they were only that they were really really old.One 95 year old lady said that here grandfather had always said they were associated with the Spanish Vaqueros and the Estanlao Spanish land grant.I had a breif chance to detect one and found this Spanish Style spur!!!!Also a 1774 silver coin on another trip,maybe the old gal was told right!!I need to get back there!I found a very similar spur to this one at another site that was in much better condition but it is on loan to a museum.The heart pendant was not found at the corral but eyeballed at one of the many gates getting to the location!!A neat peice of early California!!
