Hello All,

Well, I said that if I found nothing else this year, I wanted to find more of the Spanish "Castle piece" I dug in this post: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ish-colonial-cap-badge-henry-clay-button.html

I managed to find another piece today, and I am starting to think that we're dealing with a Shako.

When I recovered the first piece back in spring, a Spanish Colonial expert, collector, and curator told me "I quietly hope that this might be a fragment of a Spanish shako plate, but to make any judgment about it more will have to be recovered. There has never been, to my knowledge, a Spanish hat plate found in the U.S. If you have one, it would be a treasure indeed." I have now sent a new photo of both pieces to him, and am awaiting his reply.

This was my first time with a new camera, and doing a longer video. Got one title card in there wrong, but otherwise turned out well.

Happy Viewing, Buck

Grat hunt Will. Both of you have made some great finds from that field. I look forward to seeing what is said about the 'Castle'' item. The vid looks good it zooms well. I have a Gopro but is more for action stuff. May I ask what type of camera are you using. Liked the zoom and macro feature.
Happy Holidays!
 
Nice reconstruction!! Best of luck in finding the remaining two pieces!! Best, Erik
 
Congrats on your find. The video was awesome and the macros is the bees knees. That is a beautiful display case you have there.
