99th regiment of foot shoulder belt plate...

[K1DDO1979]

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! [emoji2][emoji106]

Was looking back at this post and realized I didn’t post much better pictures of after the plate was preserved the best I could. Had many suggestions but it was falling so fast I had to act quick. Its basically a special spray clear coat. It’s a shame the top feathers wore off so bad before but it still looks great to me considering! 😁👍
