Fooled by "The Royal" - Token & relics
I met B|lker this morning at the 1830's CW house. He swung his Ace 250 for a few hours then had to leave. I did a 5 hour hunt today, and came up with a few keepers. I got a signal up near an oak tree root. I dug what I was hoping was going to be a large cent, which is a coin I've never found yet. I was so excited I got my camera & took a few shots to document the find. I put it in my pouch and didn't look at it until I got home. Turns out I got "The Royal" treatment. It was a token, not a coin.
I was so looking forward to joining the LC Club, but it was not meant to be yet. Maybe in 08'.
Anyways, I did find some neat relics too.
Here are my finds for today:
* Old token with the following on it:
(Front) "Excellence Award Merit Superiority"
(Back) "Presented to a good boy wearing a Royal Brand suit. None better."
Any idea how old this token is?
*Oval piece with lady wearing armor and a winged helmet. Lady Mercury?
*1947 Dog vaccine tag.
*Two buckles.
*Two bullets - one is an Enfield I believe.
*Oval decorative piece.
*Part of a large button. Would have been approx. 30mm.
*Old lipstick case. Has a crown figure on the top.
*Part of an arrowhead - found in the same hole as some foil I dug.
*A 3" tall ornate piece that I'm hoping is CW related. Possible part of some horse gear decor?
It has four clips on the back.
Any idea on this piece?
* Asst'd relics: spoon piece , "10" play money token, large spike, etc.
That's all Folks. My arm is killing me. I need a break.
Thanks for looking,
MM
