Colonial Wax seal, War of 1812 US button. A few early coppers and relics.

[Aureus]

Had a great couple of hunts on the week-end and finally managed to find time to write a post. Found not one but two bucket lister items, both in a very good shape.

A colonial wax seal has eluded me for a few years. Super happy with this one and glad that the fragile glass or crystal part was undamaged.





Strangely, found a piece from an other seal the next day on a hunt in a completely different area.



Got an other bucket lister on Sunday's hunt. I have made a post about the coin two days ago,after the hunt.
Washington and Independence 1783 One Cent



An other interesting item was what I believe to be US Patriotic saddle shield from Civil War period. Unfortunately couldn't find much online.



United States Infantry button - War of 1812



Got a few nice coins.
An absolutely huge ( around 18 gr.) One Penny 1837 in a great shape.



''Harp'' Half penny 1820



Ships, Colonies and Commerce Halfpenny



My first colonial TALLIO fox hunting cufflink



A large gold plated Dandy button and an other one made of glass.



Dozens of flat buttons, some lesser copper coins and other relics.


Thanks for the comments.

Yes you had a great couple of hunts all right. Well done Aureus. Congrats

That colonial wax seal is so cool. Those don't come up too often. I would be so psyched to find one of those and to have the glass in it and intact is even better! I wonder if you could figure out who it belonged to? That would be quite a feat! Congrats! Those coins are so nice! The harp token is a beauty! That ships coin is great too. I know they show up in my area as well but I've not encountered one yet.

Great stuff there. Congrats on the bucket listers. You have a great variety of early tokens in Canada. The pewter US infantry button is in amazing shape. The couple that I have found have been pretty rough.

Geez where were you hunting .... a museum? That is awesome.

 

[Whyme]

Wow awesome finds! Congrats! The War of 1812... the time the US tried to invade Canada. Do you live near one of the sites where we tried to invade Canada?

Thanks ToddsPoint. That the first thing I wanted to do after getting it home.

Thanks xcopperstax. The only way I could possibly ID who it belonged to is by finding out who lived in the house that was standing on that field. The image on the seal itself is pretty generic, probably belonged to a woman.
