Stumbled on to a new site - GR Military Hospital Staf button & Early London lead seal

This was a field Ironhorse and I tried last Fall, and we just barely missed the site. That day I caught the corner of it, dug a couple targets that weren't old and just seemed like it was some type of more modern dump site. Well today I tried again going a little close to the road that's there, and quite a difference. I thought my find of the day was going to be the 1812 (or a bit after) Hospital Staff button.... but then dug the seal which is far better. I've never dug an early English seal so a good way to cross it off the list. (It's about the side of a 50 cents) Great to finally dig ground that's not half frozen!

IP,

You managed some nice oldies for your efforts.

What age do you figure on the British seal?

Not sure, late 1700s, early 1800s maybe. Might be able to ID it.

Yes, but I sort of have a pair now because I have the Victorian period one. I just wish this one was as good... the other is near 100% gilt.
