2 Colonial silver Rings, Gem Cuff, Rosette Thingy, French Billon (?) 3 Thimbles ETC

[gwdigger]

Got back on the colonial. Never found colonial silver rings then bam, 2 on one site. Both have hand engraved designs but no inner hallmarks or identifying markings. One has a fairly thick oxidation on the outside. Maybe electrolysis will remove? Or destroy? These things sounded like cut reales. Beautiful sounding tones on the Deus, both of em. I got a pretty blue & white gem linked button and some cool buckle pieces and a couple nice buttons. Wish that one gold plated shoe buckle was complete. Wife got a complete buckle frame. She also got some kind of relic with hand stamped leaves. Maybe a rosette? Thats my favorite find of the hunt. Also got 3 thimbles. She got another round leather ornamental. I got some kind of nasty coin. Looks like billon so my guess is French. Maybe someone can make out what it is. I see a few letters but thats about it. I found the tops of 3 or 4 more buttons and a heart breaker of a dandy that is nearly split in too. Has a pretty design.

It was 72 degrees when we left at 4pm so it must've made it into the mid 70s at least. Good thing we had heavy wind to keep us cool.

Really nice cross section of finds, great looking buckle and the gold wash piece is really different. Congrats on the two rings hope they clean up well.

Nice stuff assume usual Gary, and I really like those rings. If they are indeed silver, I wouldn't hesitate to use a little light electrolysis on them.

Love it man...killer stuff!

Killer, early site. Buckle frag is fantastic as are the rings.

Gary - that rosette-like item resembles a wheel handle for an outside faucet, but that's highly doubtful considering the context in which it was found. What's the back look like? I'm assuming no hooks or attachment device, and if not I don't think it's a rosette or leather ornament of any kind. If you get a chance post a pic of the back.

Here are a few more pics. I don't think its a rosette either, really. I don't think it would be a handle or knob because its so thin.

Colonial silver. Wow.
Plus all of the other stuff. I'd say that is an excellent hunt.
