On the week end, decided to revisit some of my old sites I haven't been to since the season started and was pretty glad with my decision as I ended up with a great variety of top shelf finds.

Probably my best find was a complete British Militia cross belt plate from the War of 1812 in an absolutely mint condition.

Than, an other rare mint. Revolutionary War, British 53rd regiment of foot enlisted soldier's button.

Decided to take my time in the spot I found it and couldn't believe my eyes when an other one showed up, in an even better condition.

Also found a very nice War of 1812 British 104th Regiment button.

Than, went back to one of my wooded areas and managed to find 3 early 1800's British shako's

1830's Rifles I haven't found before.

An other one from the same period.

The 3rd was more of the ''trench art'' and seems to have been turned into a flower or something similar.

Got a bunch of more or less modern Canadian clad and beat tokens. The only coin worth mentioning was a seated half dime 1861

An other beautiful Levanna type arrow point. This one seems to be made of some type of quartzite.

Wasn't sure what this item was at first. Considered the possibility of a pipe tamper, but I guess it's probably a porcelain doll's leg.

And an other British military marked ''broad arrow'' handle.

Happy with the results and couldn't wish for a better season's ending.


Thanks for the comments.

Good GRIEF!! Play the lottery. NOW!
 

I have one of those doll legs . found in a cellar hole in Fredericksburg Va .
those are some nice finds..banner worthy for sure.
 

Wish I had some old sites that still produced finds like that:occasion14:
 

You absolutely killed it on the relics Aureus. Wow! That smokey quartzite point is a beauty!
 

The Levanna arrowhead is real nice. It looks to be made from the same type of material as this point I found as a kid. I think mine is called a Chesapeake Bay Diamond

SPECTACULAR!!! You are sure in a good area for the good old stuff!! Banner voting here.
 

Outstanding finds Aureus, I really like the military buttons and cross belt plate too.
Congrats
 

Can you please send some of those relics, and the soil they reside in, down here please?
The soil down here has it's way with the relics we find, but it doesn't feel as bad because they certainly are not relics like that :laughing7:
Incredible finds in incredible condition! Banner hunt for sure!
 

Beautiful finds, all. Congrats!
 

The only thing I find in my woods are ticks and shotgun shells

Amazing items
