Had a great couple of hunts on the week-end and finally managed to find time to write a post. Found not one but two bucket lister items, both in a very good shape.

A colonial wax seal has eluded me for a few years. Super happy with this one and glad that the fragile glass or crystal part was undamaged.

Strangely, found a piece from an other seal the next day on a hunt in a completely different area.

Got an other bucket lister on Sunday's hunt. I have made a post about the coin two days ago,after the hunt.

An other interesting item was what I believe to be US Patriotic saddle shield from Civil War period. Unfortunately couldn't find much online.

I don’t know what to say I’m literally speechless. Just incredible everything. Congratulations
 

All great finds. The wax seal is the best. Glad you tried it out. Gary
 

Yes you had a great couple of hunts all right. Well done Aureus. Congrats
 

That colonial wax seal is so cool. Those don't come up too often. I would be so psyched to find one of those and to have the glass in it and intact is even better! I wonder if you could figure out who it belonged to? That would be quite a feat! Congrats! Those coins are so nice! The harp token is a beauty! That ships coin is great too. I know they show up in my area as well but I've not encountered one yet.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

All your finds are awesome! Great relics and that wax seal is an incredible piece! Congrats
 

awesome finds!
 

Wow!! All your saves are just excellent! Just finding one would make my day for sure:icon_thumleft:
 

Great stuff there. Congrats on the bucket listers. You have a great variety of early tokens in Canada. The pewter US infantry button is in amazing shape. The couple that I have found have been pretty rough.
 

Aureus, you are on a streak like I haven't seen in some time. Keep it up! Very entertaining. :icon_thumright:
 

Outstanding hunts, the colonial wax seal is unbelievable, all the coppers are really nice, especially the one penny, cool cufflink & dandy & really l7ke the saddle shield, congrats on all the amazing saves
 

Geez where were you hunting .... a museum? That is awesome.
 

Wow awesome finds! Congrats! :icon_thumleft: The War of 1812... the time the US tried to invade Canada. Do you live near one of the sites where we tried to invade Canada?
 

All great finds. The wax seal is the best. Glad you tried it out. Gary

Thanks ToddsPoint. That the first thing I wanted to do after getting it home.

Thanks xcopperstax. The only way I could possibly ID who it belonged to is by finding out who lived in the house that was standing on that field. The image on the seal itself is pretty generic, probably belonged to a woman.
