Cannon ball Run Finds.

[Hans R Dirty]

The Patriot and I had the pleasure of playing find the cannon ball with the Iron Brothers. Visitor's won 2 zip but that was all part of our plan as we will be the visitors next spring and have a very good away game lol.

We had a great day digging and catching up on things since we last met up.

Here are my finds from the day. Musket balls a crusty copper, 2 bale seals, French marines button, sportsman button and a blow hole button.

Sportman's button with iron front and copper back.

Blow hole button likely 18th century.

French marines button.

Bale seal with numbers.

French bale seal. I believe Iron patch found the mate.

Nice finds Hans...I like that bale seal!

 

[Hans R Dirty]

Just noticed on the bale seal the word couvertures which means.
bedclothes or provisions, makes sense.

 

[ironhorse]

good finds Hans!

bedclothes and linens makes more sense than chocolate, not near as tasty, but just as essential!

see you in the spring for a hunt for sure!

The seal reads : Manufacture des couvertures de Toulouse

Meaning : Blanket factory of Toulouse

Yes and we all need bedclothes, I would think blankets and such were very important during cold northern winters. it's nice to find a seal that tells the whole story, thanks.

 

[Iron Patch]

Yep, it's the same seal.

Button is 18th century for sure.

A good day out!

You did well Hans, you were lucky to pull those seals out before leaving... that site is amazing... won't be posting mine as the 2 french coins are pretty toasty and musketballs are musketballs....We'll see what the spring will bring!

Just make sure it's not a counterstamp. There are blank disks with just the Fleur De Lys stamp.
