Excellent! It does appear to be a morion. But didn't they usually have a comb? Often the Spaniards wore cabassets. What period would this be from?
St. Augustine is one of the earliest colonial settlements in North America (excluding of course the Newfoundland situations).

What sort of colonial activity would this correspond to in the area it was excavated?

Fascinating to see a great old helmet, but it would be interesting to know more about it.
