1812 WAR SHOVEL, COINS, SHAKO SIDEPLATE, PADLOCK AND SKATE

[CanDiver]

Hi Everyone!!, What a dive. I never did find my bag but found some cool items. I think the best is the full regimental/Masonic clay pipe. The 1769 hibernia coin is counter stamped with a T. Also a sweet shako side plate, brass bayonett tip with broad arrow and XX, and the oldest skat ever!!

I like the pipe, very cool to find one intact like that. That's one old skate, you don't see those everyday!

 

[jewelerguy]

great finds. I love that pipe!

 

[Hunthicks]

That's a pretty sweet group of finds as always!

 

[romeo-1]

Outstanding finds! You've got yourself a regular underwater museum at your fingertips!

Perhaps the thistle on your beautifully intact clay pipe refers to the Scottish Rite Order of Masonry.
The square & compass with thistle are not uncommonly combined in design or motif.
As an example:
Square and compasses on a shield

Unless of course its associated with a Scottish regiment.

Inquiry for possible clarification could be made to the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library.

[aquachigger]

Really exciting finds. I'm kinda partial to the shovel. I love finding the old utilitarian tools.

 

[Valley Ranger]

Great saves.

Great finds! Too bad you didn't find your bag, it couldn't of floated too far.

 

[oldsalty19]

quite unique pipe in intact condition......very nice

 

[Papa Bear]

The fact that the pipe has lasted this long and has been rescued from obscurity is a vote for banner for me. Great saves!! Well done!!

Outstanding finds, the pipe is a beauty as is the rest of the artifacts.
I hope you find your booty bag soon, I want to see what was in it.
I lost a bag with about 200lbs of scrap brass a couple of years ago and we are still hunting for it.

Great recoveries from the deep. Outstanding condition on the brass lion and the pipe.
