Didn't make a new post for a couple of weeks due to the combination of laziness and busy schedule. Managed to get out a few times since my last post with some cool relics and coins.
My favorite military relic came out of the ground in an absolutely horrible shape. I was almost certain that there's nothing to be done to fix it, to the point that I carried it in my car for a few days without even taking a second look. Luckily, with a help from a friend I managed to straighten it up and am very satisfied with the result.
My first ''Albert'' British shako from 1830's-1850's Here are the before and after pics
The center piece is missing but I have found an other piece a few weeks ago at the same spot. I doubt they went together but it does look pretty good.
And here's a similar shako from the same period.
Found an other British ''Horn'' shako from 1830's (sixth one from that spot)
An other Lion's head device
A few possible military volunteer buttons from 1830's-1850's
British militia officer's button 1850's
British 15th regiment of foot from the same period
Got an other anthropomorphic clay pipe. Only my second one in 5 years of detecting
Almost mint 1837 Lower Canada Halfpenny (Banque du Peuple type)
An other one of the City Bank type
A beat Civil War token
Bank of Montreal token 1842
A few early civilian buttons (a bone back is the first one for me)
And an old medicine bottle
Thanks for the comments.
