Spanish Silver 1 Real Cob and button

[PBR]

Landed a new permission today very close to my French Colonial Site ive been hunting. The property was small and cluttered with stuff. Might say the owner of the land is a bit of a hoarder. Wasnt finding much at first and was starting to consider moving on. Glad i didnt...... In one area of the yard i get a nice signal, but didnt expect much. Out pops a 1 real spanish Phillip V cob. My first 1 real cob (all others ive dug have been halves from this area). Then not long afterwards i dug a small pre 1730 French colonial Marines button very close from where the cob was dug. Didnt find much else worth mentioning on this property, but i did find one hot spot. My buddy dug a nice 1875 CC seated dime today not far from where i dug the cob. Finished up the day drinking a few natty light tallboys and some coconut moonshine with the homeowner. Was a good day. Normally i clean my finds before taking pics and posting, but i figured you guys might want to see some dirty pics. :-) Cob weighs 2.0 grams. Someone must have clipped this joker and tried to pass the clipped part off for a half-real. UPDATE: Found out this morning that this isnt a 1R, but instead is an over-weight 1/2 Real, which is less common. Cool Beans!

Thanks VMI, but i think its brass, dirty brass.. Even though its the smaller of the sizes, it is one of the nicest ive dug, condition wise.
