After a day of chores yesterday was champing at the bit to get out today, it was the perfect Spring day, sunshine and blue skies, so we headed off to a previously undetected field, next to the race course. I spent ages following the lead and iron signals, and was eventually rewarded with my first silver Solidino😍!

But first, part of a buckle? (I’m sure I know it’s something else, but can’t place it) pot mend, 2 bits of plate and a pot leg, a cute decorative bit, bobbin shot, piece of something and a bullet, 2 buttons, clay pipe, musket balls, candle stick, chunky lead weights, Jetton, fake silver coin, Himself’s cut hammered, and my solidino ! xx

Mr Woo, decided to help with the find photography… which was actually no help 😂 bless him! xx

Nice assortment of interesting recoveries ...I think I may have a button similar to the one you recovered in pic 7...the star motif...WW1 period? The Solidino steals the show...also love the french looking button...with the fleur-de-lis? Nice to see you are taking advantage of the great history there. Love the natural beauty of England.
 

It's bearing surface to fit a hole or socket is convoluted instead of smooth.

A rifle/musket rest like Muskateers used had more of ferrule. Like a socketed shovel or rake for instance.

Given the number of pot leg looking pieces that turn up I almost wonder if this piece is a foot for an andiron.
 

Congratulations on the great day of digging.
Yes RC nailed it on the ID.
Sweet silvers you both got.

RU sure the slightly taco'd one between the 2 silvers is fake? OR just a cruddy looking old silver?
1st one a spur?
Nice buckle.
Mr Woo getting in on the action. 😍
 

You always find the most awesome items! Jealous again...
 

Great finds you two! More congratulations sent your way! Nice photos, again. Thanks for sharing with us all!
