Hi All,

Hunted a 18th century house earlier this week. The small buckle was my first good find. I don't know how it is but sure liked the look of it. A little while later I dug the ornate looking object with the square in the middle I don't know what that is any thoughts would be great to hear. Soon after I dug the buckle frame which was a cool find. In the same area of the buckle frame got a nice solid signal and dug my three sided plug and flipped it over and stuck to the bottom of the plug was the 1781 Half Real. The dirt picture is exactly how I saw it for the first time and the look of Colonial Silver never gets old:occasion14:. Also dug another buckle and some kind of funnel like thing. Well it was a fun 3 hour hunt and thanks for looking.

Thanks all for the good words
 

I'm wondering what that " funnel" thing is? Your silver has some incredible detail. I agree that you had quite a hunt. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet spanish in great shape, and a KILLER buckle frame! Really the buckle frame is the highlight of the hunt.

Great looking silver and buckle, both are keepers and smile producers for sure.
 

Echo PerrerJ, nice finds.
There have been a couple trumpet / bugle mouth pieces found recently, that "might" be what your little funnel is ?

A colonial blow gun, or early hearing aid.
