I'm shaking still. Went back to the dog park site I have been hunting. When they made the park they scraped everything around everywhere and added clay mixed with beer cans, the usual. Have found flat buttons at 2" with a six inch beaver tail under them. After 10 beer cans under the clay in an area I've been avoiding thinking the fill was too thick this pops out. Rim was thin and smooth looking thought it was Spanish. I left immediately but I think I'm going back now.

Had an hour to go back while the kids are napping. Another first today a brass spur! I'm going to tear this place apart. The worst part is all the dogs licking your face while you dig.

With a find like that old half.....there should be more hiding among the junk.....I'd keep thinning out the targets junk or otherwise and get the rest of the keepers.
