More Spanish Silver and Military--COOL Watch Winder!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Got out with Shanegalang and DiggerGirl for a lil' Louisiana Huntin'.

We did well, pulling more spanish and a good military button, as well as some other cool finds. Check out the video:



Here is Shane's pocketwatch winder. It says "La Force" on once side and "Le Bon Temps" on the other side with a sun.



Here is another Spanish Silver Half Real coming to light. This one is an 1811 Ferdinand. Ferdies ring up as a 65 on the F75, while Caroluses ring up as 61 or 62, in case anyone wants to know.



An Early Navy cuff button with fouled anchor:



Mystery item that looks almost like it had a cross over top of the letter "M" (Miraculous Medal Rosary Beads link)



My haul:



Digger Girl's Finds:



And Shane's Finds:



And the 1811 Half Real.




Happy Hunting,

Buck

great finds. Congrats. Love the Spanish silver, even plow-struke it's a good find. The mystery item is off of a Catholic rosary, it is the center bead where the loop ends meet often called the "Hail Holy Queen" part of the rosary. Nice find, could be that there is a crucifix/cross out there in that field awaiting you as well. The beads were probably glass, or maybe even bone or ivory. HH

Had a fun day that day! As always, anxious to go again. For those that dont know, the "le bon temps" is french for "Good Times". - Shanegalang

Wow, you guys in the southern part of the state are wearing us out up north. Those are more great finds and i'm glad to see you guys found them and can share them with the rest of the world. Keep swinging cause that gold coin can't stay hidden forever. I know you will get one soon i can feel it!

So it's not a town where vampires and shape shifters live?

Nice finds guys and gal.

Nice digs Buck and crew

I believe your mystery item is an old Catholic pendant..

I have a few with the M and the cross above..Never seen one that old

Definately an early one if so..

GREAT information. Could the beads have been the type we normally call "Russian Blue" beads?

Best Wishes,
