Nice bunch of recoveries there :icon_thumright: What's the signet ring made of?
 

the signet ring is silver with the name of joseph du mt royal at least thats what it looks like
 

tO bad that shoe buckle is broken...
 

the crossed cannons resemble a Civil War Artillery soldier cap badge.
 

neat stuff.. school token seems unique.. appears to be part of a pocket watch there... soil looks a little tuff on the coppers... cool finds .
 

when did they stop using cross cannons or do they still

What I can tell you . . . is that Mount Royal is a very old and religious area in Montreal, Quebec.

Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal, (French: Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal), is a Roman Catholic basilica on the west slope of Mount Royal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

History

In 1904, Saint André Bessette, CSC, began the construction of a small chapel on the side of the mountain near Notre Dame College. Soon the growing number of visitors made it too small. Even though it was enlarged, a larger church was needed and in 1917 one was completed - it is called the Crypt, and has a seating capacity of 1,000. In 1924, the construction of the basilica was inaugurated; it was finally completed in 1967. The Oratory's dome is the third-largest of its kind in the world after the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro in the Ivory Coast and Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the church is the largest in Canada.

The basilica is dedicated to Saint Joseph, to whom Brother André credited all his reported miracles. These were mostly related to some kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) poured into his Basilica, including numerous Protestants. On display in the basilica is a wall covered with thousands of crutches from those who came to the basilica and were allegedly healed. Pope John Paul II deemed the miracles to be authentic and beatified Brother André in 1982.

A reliquary in the church museum contains Brother André's heart, which he requested as a protection for the basilica.
