I've been snake bit this week on finding any old coins, just some clad coins dropped by hunters, but a good relic always makes a hunt very successful and today I got a large beautiful Pewter Horse Rosette. I never found one this big, nor made of high quality pewter. I did clean this one since it was kind of ugly as it came out of the ground and I am even thinking of getting my dremel out and see if I can get the dirt out of those nooks and crannies and really make it look good.
I have no idea of the age of this one, I found it at that homestead where I got my 1723 King George I in January but also an 1900s Indianhead penny, so LOL, it could be from 18th -20th century, I just don't know.
I hit two other homesteads this week and at one only managed to find the Lock, which has a cool company name of "JUNKUNC BROS" and at the other homestead got a piece of very old and thick Pewter spoon handle, gilt button and a knob of some type and clad coins.....
Maybe tomorrow will be a nice old coin for me.
The Half Dollar is in the photo for size comparison only , the rosette is 45cm in diameter.
