Have to add some additions to come anywhere close to matching Ironhore's post... but I have no shame. :happysmiley:


The last site we hit yesterday, an incredible site and no real debating that, but happened to be the one where IH could do no wrong, and I could do nothing but wrong. Ironically my Navy button (1805-1812) was dug earlier in the day so it was an outright trouncing at the good location. With that being said, I have included a nice little wax seal which is my find and being posted for the first time, but was given to the property owner over a decade ago when I dug it. (Says "Thomas") I had no memory of what it looked like so asked if he could grab it so i could take a picture. He also brought out a silver marked Bosun whistle dug by the guy who had taken me to the field back in the day, and also given to the land owner. Was asked if I could get an ID, which I am still working on.

Sure was a great day to be out and can't wait to do it again!

DAMN THOMAS WHAT A SEAL.....


The property owner is 88 and I was secretly hoping he'd give it back to me, but he's had it for so long I'm sure it means a lot more to him than me.
 

Sweet variety of finds for sure! [emoji2][emoji106]
 

Those are some great finds! That seal is stunning, it's nice of you to share it with the land owner. Awesome whistle as well.
 

The story about the site is taking shape from several fronts... we're just picking it up again after a hiatus for a couple of seasons...and it's not over yet !
The rest of the area has me more interested in some of the other fields close by
your navy turned out to be a lot nicer than I imagined!
 

Awesome finds! That seal is killer, and my name is Thomas, so that would work perfectly for me!

Congrats.
 

Nice seal, button too.
Now that you got the picture you can add it to the Best Finds thread. Only wax seals.
 

WOW a Georgian SILVER Bosun Whistle!
