Cut Spanish silver and lots more

[toasted]

Wow. Where do I begin? Got permission to hunt a cut soybean field that once had a ball diamond on it back in the 60s-70s. Was hoping for some rosies but that area turned out to be full of pull tabs and no silver as of yet. So I began to explore the rest of the field and found a silver GW in one area and a decent size iron patch in another. I just stumbled onto a early site In two trips Ive pulled countless buttons, bits of lead and pewter and some buckle fragments and lots of whatsits. I got the toasted square shaped Braided hair LC tonight too but the 1/4 cut Spanish is my first milled real. Found a cob last year. Looks to be an early to mid 18th century Pistareen but Ill let the experts chime in

That buckle may even dip into the 17th century. I'll look tomorrow. I'm still looking for my first buckle of that type. Congrats

Yes indeed, it dips well into the 17th century. Trefoil spectacle buckle. Great find!

That's an old one too, Golden Age of Piracy Era, early 1700's - it appears to be of King Phillip V, king from 1700-1746.

Its a 2 reales from the Segovia mint I believe. It shut down in 1730 as well I think

Congrats ,that buckle is crazy good, and the cut silver is telling you to celebrate with a bottle of rum. Well, that's what I read on the coin

Congrats on the spectacle buckle. That thing is 1600's all day long. I've been lucky enough to find one and it is my favorite that I have found. Congrats!
