I had a great day detecting this evening. I went back to where I found a 81st regiment of foot item previously and targeted the surrounding area hard. I found a few buttons and coins but the highlight was a shoulder belt plate from the 99th regiment of foot. The 99th (Prince of Wale's Tipperary) Regiment of Foot- In Bermuda from 1806, to Nova Scotia from July 1811, with detachments in New Brunswick and Newfoundland until 1817. The 99th Regiment of Foot (Prince of Wales's Tipperary Regiment), raised in 1804 and was renumbered as the 98th in 1816. I cleaned it as gently as I could and it’s the best I can get it. Thanks for looking!

Thank you. You make it out also on that big nice hunt yesterday I’ve been hearing about? [emoji16]
 

Yeah was one of those days where the balls looked as big as basket balls crossing home plate for me. Hit the single, double and triple but didn't see the home run coming.
