42 MUSKET BALLS / BULLETS..... AND MAYBE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ?

[AQUA]

Went to a very old location...1st time for me .

Needless to say i was very busy digging.....musket balls and bullets everywhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the site dates back to 1700s

Was only there a few minutes and came acroos the 2 items about 10 feet apart .... the bottom pictures.

Pretty sure they are made of pewter.... and the inset diamonds have me possibly excited or are they fake ?

And what are they ? Are they old....and if they are ..did they make fake diamonds back then ?? They sure look old. !!!!

They are the same at the tops --but they do not match at the bottoms..obviously from the same thing or set.

Top right piece with the hook is a cloak clasp. It might have what will look like flat button shanks braised onto the other side of it so that it could be sewn into the cloak.

Cloak, not clock haha. I don't have a photo with the garment attached. Never been able to find one, but I am certain that is what those were. Why else would button shanks be braised onto the back of those items. They are not common finds. I've only seen 3 dug in 22 years.

Cheers,

Cool--- then i,m happy with my find---- anything odd or un-common I like.

Found it in a odd location...just one of them spots where u say---maybe ..maybe not...someday i,ll have a look if i,m bored...random.

yes... same for me---- on land they are covered in a thick white powder.

in the saltwater they come out very dark grey/black....gotta be the soil.

Actually the white is from more exposure to oxygen typically I want to say.
