I know I haven’t been posting many of my finds lately, but today Truth and I returned to the old Spanish fort (Fort St.John) along the lakefront in New Orleans. I brought the Cortes out with all intentions of homing in on some of those “Buff’s” Truth’s been racking up on.
After about and hour or so of digging a few clads, can slaw, melted lead blobs and a ton of pull tabs with beaver tails I finally dug something that was worth posting.
As you can see below it appears to be plated with what looks like copper or brass. At first, I thought it was gold gilt, but after gently cleaning it up I could see the plating along the top, which is engraved with a flower, leaves and stem.
I personally think it’s a cuff or vest link, but I’ve never personally dug or seen one made in this shape and style before. Maybe someone will know exactly what it is and hopefully help date it.
Thanks for looking, take care, HH and God bless!!! “D”
