Buckles and river side finds

[montcalm]

The river side always have funny stuff. Tools from the raft men time , some marble show around always like them. A gold100 US bill:-),Three old buckles 1750-1850 from the field. A strange handle , no id yet.British penny beside a scaring Georges coin. The shinny brass buckle( just half buckle ) is from the 1900 art Nouveau and finally a sterling medal.

Any ideas for the JR on the rafting dog?

Interesting assortment of finds. I especially like the three old buckles which date 1750 to 1780, not 1850. They are all 18th century, one being a military sling buckle.

Great finds! Really nice buckles

This is a nice set of finds and well represented with story and pictures - congrats and well done mate!

The ring pull may be a furniture drawer pull, or it could have come off a powder horn. I've seen more than one 18th century powder horn with those nailed on the butt end. I have a few as well.

I assume the handle is SOLID Silver?

 

[Plumbata]

Very nice relics, that is some good age for North America! I like the socketed gaff, and have you ever found complete stoneware Ginger Beer bottles in the river?

a broad axe got the full name on it.

I'd like to see your broadaxe if you have any pictures of it

The " handle" certainly does appear to be solid silver - excellent finds !!
