1733 Colonial Sundial Found and Restored

[SC Keith]

I found this sundial, the earliest in the Carolinas, last year. It is one of the earliest from southern colonial America. When I found the piece it had been bent and damaged so I sent it to an expert in restoring metal objects.
It has been the best find of my relic hunting career. I hope to get some detailed info from people who know about sundials.
Thanks for looking! Keith

Here's one that is reminiscent of yours..Xender Discord Omegle. 100 years older that sold at Christies while ago... don't know price.

Thanks for re-posting the pic of that amazing find. When you originally posted it in june(?) 2018, I had just recently joined tnet and didn't even know how to vote for a banner find - until I saw this piece. Your picture of this sundial was one of the major reasons why I continued on tnet. Among the hundreds of great finds, including the gold coins I've seen here, this one artifact remains my very favorite.
