Descrption:
This item for auction is a Spanish Colonial period brass knee buckle. This artifact was recovered from the
Nuestra Señora del Rosario
, sunk in 1753 at the mouth of the Río de la Plata near Montevideo, Uruguay. The Rosario was reportedly carrying over 800,000 pesos of treasure on her way to Buenos Aires when she sank close to shore on June 30, 1753. All hands were saved, but the fate of the cargo is unknown. Recent finds of utilitarian items like spoons and buckles have trickled onto the market, but no high-value treasure so far. This artifact comes with a Certificate of Authenticity so purchase with confidence. Refer to the photos for details including: condition, size, and certificate.

About Me:
Workmansbooks
is an online bookseller specializing in numismatic, military, and treasure hunting-related auction catalogs, books, and magazines for the discerning collector or casual hobbyist. This online bookshop started from a deep passion of collecting reference material for the purpose of identifying pieces of historic militaria and rare coins discovered through the fascinating hobby of metal-detecting. Knowing how hard it is to assemble a reference collection for this hobby was the driving force behind developing this site to help other collectors get the references they need.
Our general inventory is a good mix of auction catalogs, books, and magazines, with an emphasis on hard-to-find vintage auction catalogs of rare coins and fine militaria. Our book inventory is tailored toward militaria research, military unit research and identification of military uniforms, equipment, firearms, ordinance, and accoutrement. Also included in our book inventory are selections on numismatic identification as well as selections on treasure, buried treasure, sunken treasure, shipwrecks, salvage, and general treasure hunting how-to. Our magazine inventory is stocked with a nice variety of back issues on treasure hunting, buried treasure, sunken treasure, shipwrecks, and relic hunting.
We hope that the reference works you find by visiting our website will be useful in your personal library. Please bookmark our website and check back often, as we are constantly buying and consigning collections and adding new material to the site as soon as it can be cataloged. If you have a collection of similar material for sale, we would be happy to make an offer for your collection.
