At first I didn't know what it was. Usually when i find them they are worn smooth with only a faint small area to work an ID with. Not used to a bold appearance.
(Sorry Smokey)
Tag was made out of lead. That's odd.

Nice find. I don't find them often.
 
Spanish silver is a rare and beautiful thing...worn smooth or bold. Congrats to you!!!
 
I love the reale and that tag is amazing. Any ideas what it was for?
 
Couple of beautiful saves. Congrats
 
Nice score. I dug a beauty up here on the north shore this summer, can you imagine all the silver and amazing relics under concrete here on suburban Long Island. Cheers

Guess would be an animal tag. Usually there brass and this has no wear around attachment point. So not sure but farmers were creative and used whatever. I've found tags made from large cents and Indian head Penny's.

Don't know about silver but we definitely have many relic shot shells. I started saving them a couple years ago just to see how many I find a year. Up to 30lbs now which is roughy a few thousand.

Well you know considering how populated it is here and how early it was settled most of the good sites have been covered over sites seam to dry up fast. yes always digging early shells. PM me if ya want to go digging. Cheers
