Finds from "seal beach" (colonial finds)

Well it's been wayyy too long, since I got out detecting last... decided to go out at the last minute for about 2 hours and glad I did... I dug out 5 bale seals within 5 minutes of each other, can see the fleur de lys on some of them along with some numbers, hard to get some good pics off the lead... This was the most seals I've dug in one day....also managed a 1749 Geo II that was in great shape for coming off the beach... The nice find today was this silver medallion marked sterling on it... looks almost like a figure on it with long hair? anyone have any ideas or seen this one before? other finds include buttons, a small broken bell and musketballs....

thanks for looking

You'll be killing me on seals soon with days like that! ..and what's with all the 1749 Georgies? :tongue3:

Sterling silver is modern, nothing too interesting.

Yeah that makes a total of 49 seals now..... but you have me on quality for sure!! Tons of those 49'ners coming out of this area... now for the reale silver!


I think I have 26, probably found about another 10-15 besides that, so still likely behind. But I do have some nice ones!
