🥇 BANNER 1812 War Canadian Volunteers Cross Belt Plate

[CanDiver]

Hello fellow treasure hunters. I was in about 25ft of water. The bottom was sand and I wasn't expecting much. I found 1 musket ball and them BAM! There she was. One 2 hand sweeps and it was staring at me. I rubbed it and saw the GR. My best find so far.

Very cool finds CanDiver!
Congratulations on your restoration, I think you were pretty lucky that it came back so nice!

What 'exactly' is the copper coin with the left-facing bust on it?

Georgius Rex, Latin translation: King George, issued during the reign of George lll

In this case yes, but the monogram was also issued/used with all 4 Georges.
