Late 1700's and 1812 military buttons. Some relics and coins.

[Aureus]

My detecting this time of the year is on some serious diet. With the unbearably hot weather and the serious lack of available detecting sites, I have only managed to get out a few times last week and only for a couple of hours. I still managed to get a few decent relics and coins.

Got a few military finds.

British 31st Regiment of foot enlisted men button (1784 type) in a very good shape.



War of 1812 British 41st of foot.


A Brown Bess musket butt stock marked with the broad arrow. Unfortunately, the part containing the regiment number is missing.


Also, found a few coins.

A nice Upper Canada 1820 Halfpenny in a great shape. My first one of this type.


Matron head (1823?)


Strangely, found my first and second George IV coin. They are uncommon as he had a short reign.

George IV Halfpenny 1827


George IV Farthing 1825


A few 1835 Lower Canada Halfpenny coins.


Some more coins 1770's-1830's


A few nice civilian buttons.


Croatal bells.


A cane tip?


A keyhole from a treasure chest (working on finding that one )


And the hoards of flat buttons...those in the pic are from the last few weeks or so.



Thanks for the comments.

Well it depends on the relics that interest you. For example, I very rarely find stone tools or weapons. They are more common where you are I believe
