Cast button with a Spanish real coin design.. fairly common, see them posted here and there. Good find.

Like always thank you, I have never found anything like this. I love hunting, knowing I found it where I did makes me love it, even if it is common, you know when you dig a 100 holes and then you find something, I just love it.
Thanx

Being common is a relative term. There's enough out there that exist to make it something that is not crazy exciting, but at the same time if you poled 10,000 members on this site less than 1% would have found one.
