HEY GUYS AND GALS

Made it out for the day after not getting out for 6 or 7 days.... Cousin ED came along also.

Hit the woods to find some foundations ..... found 5 all together so was happy on that part.Cousin ED was finding bottles and some nice coins/pendants...nice old Brittania 1739.

Th bottle with the Fisherman holding the big codfish is awesome...we are fishermen so of course we love it !!!

Any ideas on his PENDANT with the portrait ??? and the LION,S HEAD ??

The foundations were very trashy so I switched over to DISCRIM mode and sure enough I managed to separate out a cool find !!! .......Picked up this very interesting piece.....the tulip in the middle is the same as the one on NovaScotia 1800s pennies.

But the writing is what I assume to be French ??

Any help on some IDs on our finds would be appreciated.

Top 9 pictures are Cousin EDs.

Here is an 84th regiment button I found on the Virginia Peninsula. Don Troiani had some information on the unit, although I don't remember much of it right now. I'm sure he would love to see that find. Banner all the way.

Nice button you got there....."once in a lifetime"...hmmm... sounds like I,m most likely gonna be very disappointed on my next few outtings !!!
 

One heck of a find!!!! I don't see it up top yet so your getting a BANNER VOTE from me! Maybe that will help push it on up there where it belongs. Good luck!

ty GaRebel1861 for the BANNER vote ..appreciated !

Congrats! How do you sleep nights after making all these super great finds !

When you recover, go back there!
Awesome job!

Appreciate you looking !!
 

Major.major score! Beautiful piece of history!!
 

I'm not sure how I missed this fabulous find, but congrats! It will no doubt be the center piece of your relic display!
 

You're just killin' it up there! A box plate is on my bucket list. Congrats on finding one that wasn't bent or broken. Always a plus. I would say it would make next years Best Finds Issue!
 

Beautiful relic and nice piece of history. :thumbsup: Sweet save on that one! Good luck on any return hunts and congrats on the Banner. :hello2:

Awesome finds. Your bottle is a Scott's Emulsion - Cod liver oil with lime and soda.
