93rd Reg Kind of Day; lapel pin, plate, buttons!

[Hunthicks]

Got out again today with Patriot and Hans R Dirty, and got some firsts for me. The best find for me was the 93rd Cumberland Infantry shako plate. Also got a 93rd lapel pin, and two Canada Militia buttons from the same period. Struck out on coins as they were few and far between, did get the silver pocket watch missing the front and back, some bits of lead, a musketball, buckles and a lot of iron and cartridges!

I believe the Regiment was formed in 1871, and this is some of the earlier stuff. 1870s - 1890s I'm guessing.

You certainly did well with that Shako plate, lapel and buttons... I hope the 2 sites next week will at least be 100 years older It was just the perfect day for detecting! No flies, not too hot and good buddies to hunt with.... Again congrats

Well it's ok. Those 93rd plates are everywhere!

I seen you replied to Rick's post and it hit me that I never replied to your coin post, but I just started going down the list to find it, and seen this one. So I guess I don't have to dig up the other one and just say... YOU'RE ON A ROLL!
