29 April 2011- hunted out field

Nutriasub · May 3, 2011

Went with a friend to a field that has been hunted heavely, just to try and see what would come out.
All medieval

It was a fun 4 hours

I found:
A little medal
I small ring with the word GAGE on it. Dont have a clue about it, but its from a medieval field
Nice military saddle mount, and another one from civilan (with the heart on it)
Thimble and coins, buttons...

Thanks

Great bunch of finds.

Now that button or cufflink really interests me, as I've had a theory that they are NOT as old as people say. They think its 'associated with the Restoration of Charles II (1660) or his marriage to Catherine of Braganza (1662)'. I think they are 100 years later. You finding them over there strengthens my arguement, as the probability of something British celebrating Charles II is unlikely to travel that far (not impossible, just less likely) :icon_thumright:

Rich loyalists would have had that type of button(silver)

I don't know what is more amazing, the finds or the way you all can identify them. WOW

Thank-you guys

Cru regarding the button its from the XIX century, some say its celebrating that marriage that you say, but most think that they where made later, on the XVIII or XIX cent.
There are many found here in (http://www.identificacion-numismatica.com/t11308-dos-corazones), on different shapes and materials.
In the catalogs here are classified as HERALDIC BUTTONS, nothing else.
This is the main argument translated:

"We said three sources (in English language publications):
Commemorating the wedding of Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria: 1625
Commemorating the wedding of Charles II of England and Catherine of Braganza 1662.
Common design between realists of the time.

Other publications also assigned to the restoration of the second Carlos (1660). And in England appear in contexts of the late seventeenth century.

Others believe that the twins were not used so early in England and should be half of the next century (XVIII). Since then there seems to be quite similar in construction twins (reverse type bowl) in mid-eighteen.

The case is not rare in Spain and a few have already appeared in these forums. Almost too many to import all, for it would not be surprising that although British and the XVII-XVIII design was expanded and became popular, at least for certain events."

Hi Nutria !
Now I know why you came to T. Net ..... I also get tired of OMNI. :wink:

These buttons appear throughout our country related to fields of battle, you may be of British reinforcements corps .

This is why I prefer this forum, than just an English one, it means we all learn more about what was popular across the world.

I still think these are mid-late 18th C, as they follow the same construction as others from that period. Plus during the mid-late 17th C there were only really 2 popular designs/constructions which were used. Neither look like this one :icon_thumright:
