Fooled by "The Royal" - Token & relics

I met B|lker this morning at the 1830's CW house. He swung his Ace 250 for a few hours then had to leave. I did a 5 hour hunt today, and came up with a few keepers. I got a signal up near an oak tree root. I dug what I was hoping was going to be a large cent, which is a coin I've never found yet. I was so excited I got my camera & took a few shots to document the find. I put it in my pouch and didn't look at it until I got home. Turns out I got "The Royal" treatment. It was a token, not a coin.
I was so looking forward to joining the LC Club, but it was not meant to be yet. Maybe in 08'.
Anyways, I did find some neat relics too.
Here are my finds for today:

* Old token with the following on it:
(Front) "Excellence Award Merit Superiority"
(Back) "Presented to a good boy wearing a Royal Brand suit. None better."
Any idea how old this token is?

*Oval piece with lady wearing armor and a winged helmet. Lady Mercury?

*1947 Dog vaccine tag.

*Two buckles.

*Two bullets - one is an Enfield I believe.

*Oval decorative piece.

*Part of a large button. Would have been approx. 30mm.

*Old lipstick case. Has a crown figure on the top.

*Part of an arrowhead - found in the same hole as some foil I dug.

*A 3" tall ornate piece that I'm hoping is CW related. Possible part of some horse gear decor?
It has four clips on the back.
Any idea on this piece?

* Asst'd relics: spoon piece , "10" play money token, large spike, etc.

That's all Folks. My arm is killing me. I need a break.
Thanks for looking,
MM

Great looking finds, I was recovering a coin at my cabin when I recovered an arrowhead out of the same hole. I was shocked. But I don't know why just less then 1,000 feet there were several very good producing fields that I found several hundred arrowheads out of over the years.

Not too well. He really didn't stay too long. Maybe he was expecting me in my dress?

Thanks Gypsy. I thought of you when I dug that Mercury Girl. I know you like that stuff. It will make a nice display with those art noveau (spelling?) pieces I found earlier.
I had a picture taken of me in action, so the TN folks don't think I'm really a drag queen. (except at night)

Re: Fooled by "The Royal" - Token & relics

I do like the attention to the pants thing from gypsy.
Glad to see you wearing them too

Awesome finds after my departure.
What happened to the wheat and screw thing with the triangle on top you found.

The chunk of metal i found near the back of the property looks like a meteor to me.
Are the magnetic?

the plate shard looks to be early / mid 1800's era

The wheat turned out to be a memorial penny (I told you my eyes were bad), and the large screw thing is getting electrolysis overnight.

I don't think meteors are magnetic.

Almost all meteorites are attracted to a magnent after all, they have to be very dense to survive going through the atmosphere and most have some metal content.

Cool finds Doug!

Montana Jim informed me that the Mercury lady is actually Minerva - Roman Goddess of war.
Here's a few pix from the web.

Thanks Jim.
