1775 Spanish silver Half Real, old copper and buttons

[treblehunter]

On my way to the Hayfield I stopped by a friends new place of residence (his brother owns it just recently purchased 1600's farm) While I was there I set my phone on top of my car. Four miles down the rd I realized I had a senior moment then was back tracking to find it in the middle of the road. This is what the back looks like, it was in an OtterBox that saved it from a 60 mph crash and I'm thinking someone hit it too? Who knows, still working, I got to the Hayfield and pulled up on a hawlk with a fresh still moving kill in his tallens, this is what the pic looked like before I toothpicked some glass away from the lense.
On my first pass of my grid I hit on the copper which I'm still cleaning. When I started my second pass I hit a nice 82 signal that sounded so sweet I thought to myself, Seated, then quickly started telling myself, Early American silver I found a clod the size of a hockey puck and was standing up looking through it. When I couldn't find anything I looked down and this is what I seen.
I hunted for about three more hours and found buttons.
Enjoy the rest of the pix
