Gold colional cuff links

[kittspirate]

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I saw some one had found a gold cuff link.

This wasn't today's find, but about three weeks ago.

Me and my hunting buddy had a good day in the Caribbean.

Found a toasted penny, musket balls ,a cannon ball and the gold cuff links.

Now if we can just find the other one. HH!

Very nice, I've had gold plated silver but yet to get a solid one. I guess the 'other one' depends on whether it is a cufflink or a linked button. If its a linked button you have the full set. (I'm still unsure how you can tell the difference??)

I'm afraid I have no clue, but it seems wide enough to be a linked button.

Dare I say Banner?

If that can be confirmed colonial, and from the other story, their frequency of recovery seems very rare, I don't see why this would not be Banner.

That's a very nice find, a deep buttery looking gold colour, got to be high kt. As for the date, cufflinks of high quality with a gold link connection were in use by 1715, so these could be slightly earlier. By the way I think these were used on a shirt, rather than Cuff-links...great find.
