Had quite a good six hours on a new field today.

The Cap Badge was laying on top and nearly blew my ears off. The coin weight and the hammered came from a corner of the field right next to a church.

I got a few other bits too :icon_thumleft:

It is very difficult to find a coin weight in my country .. and much more if it is decorated .
These pictures tell a lot about you, a relic hunter but also a Londoner who loves contemporary art. London and Barcelona are very similar. ::)

That's it. I'll marry any ugly diseased Brit for a UK passport.

And I don't think the badge matches the one in the book. Note the shape of the very bottom and the shape/slopes of the crown. Hopefully it's an even better one.
 

That is a great day, never had such an early Military badge, that would have made my year. Must be worth a fair price to the right collector, close to one of your best, based on Condition/Rarity :o :o :o

Shaun didn't update the thread, but I don't think he'll mind my sharing the bad news before too many post replying to what is now a very wrong line of thought on this one.

I first emailed someone who is an expert in early military. He said the coat of arms looked either 1812 era, or 1830s, but wasn't sure as he couldn't tell from the picture. He also questioned if it was a cartridge plate, which actually got me thinking a little that it does look fairly heavy duty for a cartridge box plate. But trying to stay optimistic, I wrote someone who collects 1812 military plates and I figure knows as much as just about anyone on that period. His answer was it's most likely a Victorian horse boss.


So combining the two answers it seems like it's an early Victorian military horse boss. Still a great find, but Shaun did go to work today! :laughing7:

Thats fine, I thought the Crown Victorian in date, its still rare in my searching career, OK maybe not as collectable/expensive as others, but a great find in my books :icon_thumright:

I can't get them older than WWI
 

Sorry for not updating, it was very late and I was distraught :laughing9:

Thanks everyone :icon_thumleft:
 

Shaun, match the Royal arms on the front to date it just to be sure it's Victorian. Or post a closer pic and someone here will probably do it. Maybe you can squeeze it back to William. :-X


Yesterday when I got the email saying it wasn't what we had hoped.... I replied... "Well that should slow down his pulse down a bit" Today he replied saying.... "hopefully not too much" :laughing7:

George III - In 1801, when George III renounced his title as King of France under the Treaty of Paris, the French quartering was removed. The arms of England then occupied the first and fourth quarters, the arms of Scotland the second, and the arms of Ireland the third. For Hanover, there was an escutcheon overall surmounted by the electoral bonnet, which was replaced in 1816 by a Royal Crown (when Hanover became a Kingdom).
