A once nice Silver pocket watch. padlock, interesting eagle buttons and 1826 British penny.

[Cape Hunter]

More recent finds here on the Cape. To bad the pocket watch was smashed. Has lots of fancy writing on the back. Sterling Silver, weight little over a 1 oz though! Hail Columbia medal or button? Still has it's clip that goes on the back vertically. I am guessing this small eagle and shield button could be military or campaign related? Gold leaf under all the dirt. Surprise to me was this nice King George IV undraped penny. Condition and patina is wonderful. Round decorative brass item with a hole must be tack related. Back of a plain tombac button was much more fancy than usual with gold gilding, front is no Gold and boring. Brass Padlock is cool, not sure of it's age. Nothing written anywhere on front or back. Have not found anything like it on line. Somebody might know? I pulled this large copper finial out of the ground and thought thought it was hose spray nozzle. Have no idea what it was for.

The main company is listed in the database-though the "Gris" isn't included.

Looks like it pre-dates or is the Swiss made version.

Thanks pepperj. I guess it was expensive. I found it in the same area that I found a 18 kt gold bar pin with blue diamonds that was also smashed? Long ago love spat? Strange.

A Friend of mine found one of the Hail Columbia Disc in Northwest Arkansas this year in a Civil War Camp. We thought it might be a Bridle Rosette

Thanks! That may explain the reason for a vertical location of the back clip. Not horizontal like most badges or metals.

Excellent digs and nice spot you have to hunt. Grats and thanks for sharing.

Nice bunch of finds.

That large 1826 Penny is not only in nice condition, but a hard date to find. Pretty sure I've never found one.
