Those are some amazing coins, very nice. I dream of coins much younger than those, but that comes with living in the states.I really like the captions on the photos, helps me to appreciate each item instead of just thinking, "neat, another button". Thanks for sharing your finds and some history.

Excellent finds..And much like my assortments and ages here in Italy...Though yours are better.

Just curious,.... What depths are you finding your pieces?..My coins, buttons, medals all seem to be mostly around 10-15 cm. in packed soil (not cultivated). I expected to dig deeper for these 17th century pieces....Anything deeper always seems to be iron.

All these pieces have been recovered from agricultural fields with my MXT White's electronics.
Sensitivity on the number 3, without ground.A mode theshold and a depth of between 0 and 10 centimeters (5 inches) of very dry sand (we're in full summer here and lluebe not much) in Italy can find some similar coins and the same Kings.
I recommend you focus your search on farmland, are more profitable and more objects out.

Thanks for the info..The agricultural land around us is only used for hay, so they don't really ever turn it over, unfortunately. I will have to travel a bit out of my mountain area to catch up to you and those English Hoovers.

I'm confused with the 1505 date of the King Charles I coin. I think of Charles I, king of Spain (actually only King of Castile and of Aragon from 1516) as ruling between 1516 and 1556. I realize that this Charles I was also called Charles V, but that was with the title of emperor (1519-58), not king. I think of Ferdinand V as being the king of Spain, at least most of it, in 1505.
Can you clarify this please?

What is it... a Groat?

PS... The first button looks much more 19th century.

Great old finds!

You have a great coin in the 'ardite'..AR. Personally, I can't read the 1653 date.

"Krause values the dates of 1653, 1654 and 1655 at the same prices; Cayon (c. 1998) values the 1653 at 5,000 pesetas, 1655 at 3,000 pesetas, and 1654 at only 2,000 pesetas. This would indicate that 1653 is significantly more valuable than the other two dates."
