Good day today.. 1697 Liard de France, musket balls, a cast pre 1730's taco'd French colonial marines button with drilled shank, musket balls, and a broken brass candlestick holder. Does anyone know if the candlestick holder could be the same age as other finds.?

Those are some great finds. I'd say the holder is the same age as your other finds.
 

That's a fantastic bunch of finds. The Liard is my favorite. I've found one up here in Massachusetts a few years back, but your coin is in much better condition. Congrats!
 

Those lead musket balls are always a neat find.
 

Outstanding finds! I really like those very old ones, especially the laird. I didn't know that the French were in Mississippi that early. They were here in the northeast then but I have not found a relic from them yet.
