1761 Queen Charlotte Coronation medal

HEAVYMETALNUT · Nov 22, 2019

1761 Queen Charlotte Coronation medal From a colonial site Also nabbed a shoe buckle frame, a KGII copper my 24th on the year. a D buckle and a hames end all in the chimney pile of this site. the rest of the site was so quiet my threshold barely waivered from a steady hum. But whoever hammered this place missed a few keepers. Always pays to think outside the box! and a few other finds from some previous hunts,a 1808-1821 Artillery button,a cool NY & Harlem rail road from the 1850's,a bronze statue and a pewter candle stick holder

Wow so many great finds! That artillery button is awesome! What did you to clean it up? That bronze statue is something you don't see too often and that coronation medal is super cool. I can imagine it could tell quite a story if it could talk! Thanks for sharing the greatness!

Thanks! I use a soft brass brush with soap & water to clean my buttons

Great finds HeavyMetalNut. You forgot to post the cleaned up pics of the Queen Charlotte Medal. You should post them up because I think it's a Banner Find!
