Hello,
As the snow as just settled in and the season is now over, I just wanted to share with you some of my best finds this summer. I didn’t get to go out as much as I wanted, but I still managed to find my first cannonball, my oldest coin and plenty of nice regiment buttons.
I found many coins, plenty of blanks, but here are my favorites (not the prettiest but the most interesting):
My oldest, a 1775 half-penny
Un soldo 1777 or 1779
A 1861 half-dime ( My second in 2 years)
My cannonball and a variety of calibers I found this year
I found plenty of buttons, but here is a selection of british regimental buttons I found
7th regiment of foot
17th regiment of foot
37th regiment of foot - pewter
39th regiment of foot
62nd regiment of foot
Royal artillery
Possibly a French military button
Last but not least, a nice wax seal :
There’s also a couple of whatsits if you want to have a guest guess :

My objective for next year : older coins (maybe a 1700’s silver), a larger cannonball, and a nice badge.
Thanks for looking and keep on posting !
