1733 REALE site gives EMERALDS

[DannyBrooks]

This pin turned up at the same site where the 1733 1 Reale and 1831 Capped Small Dime were found....also a few other buttons and a round, what appears to be lead..coin-looking object. Anyone seen this type of thing before? Y'all are doing great!!

Lovely pin Danny

Are those real emeralds or green colored glass? They have the luster of being the real deal.

Nice job!

Reale gems for sure, nice peice. Also I think the 1831 Small dime is a coin Kirk.

Keep @ it and HH!!

It's a beautiful piece. I can't picture a wonderful setting like that to have glass in it.

Congrats.

Well said! And a great find above from you! Those old house sites are where it's at.


I would imagine those gems are real--if the piece is that old, paste jewels would not have held up well. And I wouldn't imagine gems in a really old silver setting being paste.


Let us know what you find out,
