1/2 REALE, 1 REALE, AND SOME REALLY COOL BUTTONS.

[Vino]

And also what I believe is a musket lock plate? Had a great day, with a old hunting partner TREB. He is definitely my little rabbits foot. Lol
I was at the spot that Bill D. Found his 8 reale when he came up for a hunt. No big 8s this time, but thats ok. I finally found my first 1 reale. Now I believe I have found all the reales? 1/2, 1, 2, half of a 4, and a 8.
I was doing the same thing today that I was doing the other day. I would get a signal and start opening the holes bigger, this time I was in a little trash pit. Was finding alot of pottery, pipe stems, and Iron.
The buttons I found were all non military, but they do have a nice design on them. The one I have never seen before, its a little cuff, with a gold bezel around it. Its has a Scoville bench mark. And another button has alot going on in the back.
Anyway, it was a fun day and glad to knock another one of my list.
When the lock plate comes out, I'll take a pic and post.
Maybe 1 or 2 hunts left for me.
Thanks Beez for the site!!
George

Beauty Spanish buddy. The buttons are beautiful. I'm happy to hear you're getting some good hunts in before winters door slams shut on us.

Thanks Steve,
Looks like we will be able to hunt for a few more weeks.

Love them Reales,your sites are colonial taking it way back in time.It definitely make the hunt more exciting and anxious to pin point the next target,Congratulations on your reales collections george.The lockplate looks like a Chihuahua lol

Thanks George,
It definitely makes it more fun when your finding old stuff.
Thats funny about the lock plate. Lol

A well-deserved congrats George for hitting the Spanish circuit with at least one of every denomination. That's quite an accomplishment for someone who's not been at this very long. I've been seriously into colonial hunting for 20 years and still haven't reached that lofty status. And those are some really cool buttons too, some with designs I've never seen before. That's what makes colonial hunting so cool - there are just endless varieties of everything. Great hunt and keep 'em coming ....

Whoops - I just saw Don's post and totally forgot about the 1/4 reale. Those buggers are hard to come, but it wouldn't surprise me if your magic touch produced one soon .

Opps, looks like I have more to work towards on the spanish, among other things! I cant believe all that stuff is hiding there. The rain has really helped. Ive been wondering were them old silvers were hiding.
And I love the variety of buttons.

I just took a look at it. Seems to be coming along pretty good.

I had no clue when I secured that site that it would turn out to be so "giving" Although I can't be there to hunt it and reap the rewards with you guys I am glad that everyone is making some stellar finds. It was super nice of you to promise me that you would get permission for two super nice virgin sites for you and I next time I come up there. I look forward to crossing a few items off my much larger then your bucket list.

Congrats on your bucket list items, and those buttons are gorgeous!!! See you at first thaw!

Great diggin george, very cool to have found all that spanish silver in just a few short years, alot of the old timers can't even say they've accomplished that, hell of a hunt by the way

 

[bonepicker]

Very nice pile of Spanish silver and old buttons.
I think your site is too old for military buttons.
The Reales denomination feat is very cool.
Way to get back in there and hammer that iron patch.
I have to admit im a bit of a cherry-picker, but you have inspired me to try and dig out some iron.

Another stellar hunt! Congrats Vino

Good stuff George, you've been killing it lately! Looking to seeing the lock plate when it's cleaned up. Great score and Big congrats!

 

[Diggin Dude]

Great finds George. Some of those buttons are unbelievable! And of course the Reales are awesome. Keep digging those iffy signals I'm going to do the same I came across some buckles in ground I've already covered by doing so. Congrats HH

Thanks BP,
I always cherry pick first. You never know if they will let you back.
After that its dig everything if the site is old enough..

Another fine hunt George, glad you completed the Spanish silver collection. Looking forward to seeing the lock post electrolysis.

That's a great collection of buttons! Nice, unusual designs. I am very jealous with your reale finds. Finding one is on the top of my wish list.
