Oval button

[tomsneck]

Snuck this out of a field I've been hitting pretty hard every night on my way home. Rang like nickel (20 on my mx sport). Was thinking cufflink especially when I had another target right next to it practically in the same hole. Turned out to be buck shot. Lol. Pulled my second Spanish on the next hole about ten feet away.

Have found a few. Thanks for the look

you have one half of a cuff link --it normally had a eye with loop with another one attached on the other side --they were used with the "French" style holed cuffed shirts --of course 2 cuff links (a matched set) were used per shirt ..time frame late 1700 --early 1800 's

the spanish coin and cuff link match up wonderfully date era time frame wise..1774

Six point stars...

six pointed stars I think too -- or dual ended if your thinking --fluer de lis type design (commonly used by both French and Spanish past 1701 * )
