Well, it looks like it's my 100th post on Tnet since I've joined it in 2016 :laughing7:

Had a few decent hunts in the last week that produced some cool finds. Just wanted to share with you my favorite ones.

Friday was a slow detecting day, but I still managed to find a nice relic.
Very well preserved War of 1812, British officer's 13th regiment of foot coat size button. The first one for me.

And a cool buckle. Never found this type before.

Haven't found any coins which is unusual, but I'm still happy with the cool relics.


Thanks for the comments.

Wow man I'm loving those buttons! I really like the lion head item, very cool.

I have found a few of lion heads in the last couple of years. Some are pewter, others copper. Never understood what they were.

Really nice finds! Wild guess but if you found those there must be some coins hiding. Maybe go back when the ground is wet.
