Tallio Cufflink and more Old Silver!

Bharpring · Nov 12, 2019

Another awesome hunt with my buddy Joe down in Sunbury, GA. This hunt produced so much history that is hard to focus on any one favorite find. I really like the Tallio cufflink and the silver cufflink with some kind of a gemstone. I also like the 1795 half real and 1857 Trime. The lead seal piece was a big surprise. I knew it was a lead seal, but only after cleaning it did it real the shield design. There is a lantern piece with markings by the Dietz & Co, which started in 1840. The owner sold out in 1868 and became another name. I believe this piece is civil war period since I have dug other items in the same area from the civil war. The brass piece that is cut in half looks like it could be part of a decorative piece from a musket? Tobac buttons, pewter spoon (rat tail) handle, parasol wire unbelievable. The only unfortunate thing was my camera ran out of battery before filming the half real and trime.

I’m very curious as to what the gemstone could be in the silver cufflink? If anyone knows please comment?
