Hi all
Went diggin at a saltwater cove I've searched before but still has Lots of targets
I have found 3 or 4 counterfeit pewter George II HPs at another site,
I think they were making them there, as some appear to be discards, with casting sprues and other
issues that would make them difficult to pass,
This one was found a couple miles from that site, but along the road from there to downtown..
it shows extra metal around the rim, talcum powder reveals Brittannia on the reverse.
It's really hard to get good pics of these, they look much better in hand.
I love the misfired 37 mm Hotchkiss autocannon round I found earlier,
this new explosive artillery round is also a keeper, it measures about 57 mm X 7 inches,
I've done some research, but can't ID it, guessing it would date 1870-1920....
Any help with Identification would be appreciated !!
Also got old flat brass & plain pewter buttons, and a civilian star button, spoon and fork,
a 'New Departure' bicycle hub, they invented the coaster hub in 1898, made bearings for motorcycles and cars,
later became part of GM.
this is a front wheel hub
Scrap baskets are almost full, time to cash in soon.
Well, I'm still looking for my Doubloon, but this was a fun hunt anyway!
Best wishes all & HH
to you!! Herbie
