Hello t-neters, had a fun day of detecting yesterday with my hunting partner... we started a new field on a property we've hit 2 or 3 times with minimal luck in the past. Within 15 minutes of walking out my pard waves me over to show me a pillar style half reale.. hmm, lightbulb turns on, maybe I should hunt this area with him 8) I walk 20 yards to his left and get a nice 75-77 signal and pop out the 1946 roosevelt.. Five feet away I get a solid 64 reading and look down to see this nice chunk of spanish silver (1789 one reale).. The only problem is Charles III didn't fare so well against the landowners plow. 
I'm not gonna try to bend it back considering its already cracking.. The rest of the day didn't yield much more than a couple buttons, wheats, and a musketball. The little pendant looking thing reads Union SS with a cross sitting inside of a crown 
the tombac cuff is the first I've gotten with shank intact 
I'll be getting surgery on my elbow within the next month that will put me on the sidelines for 5 or 6 months so I'm thankful to still be getting out while I can.. HH all Jeff

After a few of the replies, I took another look at the coin, and it is bent smack dab in the center and at almost a perfect 90 degree angle.. I guess this was done to make into a love token??

With the help of Don in SJ, it seems that this coin was not bent into any of the traditional love tokens shapes or forms, so thanks to those of you who thought that's what it might be.. I don't think this coin was bent by a plow, but definately can't be definitive about the purpose of the bend.. Either way, I'm gonna leave it as is and give it the TLC that any of the rest of them would get!

Great silver taco ,buttons,and relics! Congrats 
The plow may have helped keep some of those finds in range . Bent reale should be a quick fix. How are you going to stand being out of action for 5-6 weeks 
you might have to get an assistant digger. Take care and hang in there with the elbow surgery 
I will have to learn to do things left-handed.. better yet, a good way to strap my shovel to my belt 
<-- poor guy only has one hand like me 
i hope it doesnt hurt to much
