Intact Knee Buckle and 1758 1/2 reales.

So back to the spot where I'd found 7 coins,(most all slugs), and the 2 Connecticuts. 4 hours and one of the last holes was the 1/2 reale. Made my heart stop for a second as I thought it was American silver. BUT NO.......Not for me!!! LOL.

The buckle is sweet and it looks like somebody was tinkering with that half real. Maybe trying to make a button? I've seen a few of those shanked up into button form. Great finds.

Nice buckle. Are you sure it's not a small shoe buckle..
I agree with Evolution. Somebody may have been making a cufflink or button out a the half real.
