What an incredible find! And it looks like it'll be in perfect condition once you clean it up. From the age of the pipes and buttons it appears the site dates from around the late 1700s to early 1800s. Is the plate British in origin? Please provide a specific ID and date if you're able. Thanks, and congrats again on your wonderful recovery.
Now there's an incredible centrepiece to a display!
I can only imagine what we all cannot see just off shore and under a few feet of water.
Congrats on a great find, it also looks like your site is loaded with much more good stuff, other than belt plates lol
THAT'S IT, you have to quit, your killing me. Man I don't know what to say. Mike just sent me the pic of all your weekend finds together now you have to add these to the pic. Nothing else I can say but WOW!
Congrats on one heck of a weekend.
