hey hey diggers!
going to throw down a couple more of finds from the last couple of years
I'm still finding these awesome little prizes now and again
Three little beauties..

The amber one is smooth. The helmet head is awesome too bad it was cracked but what can you do. And the best although broken in two is still great. Masonic themed and makes a good impression.

Gotta be more out there!

colfinds4.jpg tres19.jpg tres18.jpg I found this one on Eastern Long Island, NY in an area first settled in the mid-1600's. Nothing else near it. I think someone might be able to recognize the hat style, whether it be British, Dutch, French, Puritan,Pilgrim, or Quaker, all of whom were in this area. The final shot is it inverted on Photoshop.

I got this one last weekend. I believe it is one of the earliest land owners of my area.

Just found this one yesterday. It's my first complete seal matrix. Found a frame before, but didn't have the stone. Too bad it's a bit mangled.

It appears so. That thing is awesome. Did you ever figure out what it says???
I?m sure you did but here?s a mirrored image anyway....
View attachment 1931383
The one with the family crest I did figure out yrs ago but forgot the name
the other has has Hermes = the messenger of the gods on it - so figure they used it to seal messages
and hope for quick delivery
