99th regiment of foot shoulder belt plate...

[K1DDO1979]

I had a great day detecting this evening. I went back to where I found a 81st regiment of foot item previously and targeted the surrounding area hard. I found a few buttons and coins but the highlight was a shoulder belt plate from the 99th regiment of foot. The 99th (Prince of Wale's Tipperary) Regiment of Foot- In Bermuda from 1806, to Nova Scotia from July 1811, with detachments in New Brunswick and Newfoundland until 1817. The 99th Regiment of Foot (Prince of Wales's Tipperary Regiment), raised in 1804 and was renumbered as the 98th in 1816. I cleaned it as gently as I could and it’s the best I can get it. Thanks for looking! [emoji2][emoji106]

Very cool piece of history - Congrats!
(funny thing is, although produced here because of how we deployed our colonial military across the world they don't really show up here)
That would make my year for that type of find.

Looked at it this morning and appears that some of the dark crust is drying and flaking off some. Looks light green underneath. Maybe it will get way better or a little worse yet in the end but I’ll keep everyone updated! [emoji16]
