A lot a lead - a little love - and maybe a Devils Bloodhound!

My last couple of kicks at the rusty can for Spring. Best of these last two hunts was a few French finds (Bale seal - Little buckle & 6 Deniers 1710-1712) The bent silver love token was a surprise - often made from very worn Charles II or William III Sixpence. My find of the two 2 days however is the early Scottish military thistle button marked GBF. No confirmation of the ID yet, but one suggestion has been the Glengarry British Fencibles, known as the "Devils Bloodhounds" Hope it turns out to be true as there's a lot of cool factor in that moniker . 8-)

All in all it was a great Spring, better than some Falls I've had. Too bad it's over and the fields are planted or will be shortly, but that's how it goes.

Nice stuff. Yes, it's about over here too. And I'm not a big fan of summer heat!

I've had a few different coins for the Love Token, but 90% of them are Will III, Charles II would be very rare.

Another good hunt with a new early Military to the collection - CONGRATS (No idea, other than the obvious Scottish connection)

Wow...that button, very intriguing to say the least. "Devil's Bloodhounds"...definitely not a group I would want after me! My heritage is Scottish and I'm very interested in what turns up on that button, and I'm going to research those Devil's Bloodhounds". Great save, Ddf.

Killer silver token IP. ThAt GBF button is the winner though (crazy thatโ€™s even possible). I missed my spring season completely dealing with the homestead and obligations, so seeing other score beauties like yours helps me cope. Excellent find bruddah!!
