I got a few times in the last week or so, and met up with some good friends around North Carolina to do some detecting. I managed to find a really nice early Flintlock Musket side plate, Just identified from over in what is it from Nola Ken being from a 1700's Brown Bess musket :o . Another find from the site was the really nice looking sportsman "Wild Boar" button circa 1830's- 1860 :headbang: Sporting the Quality mark:
"P & Co. Superior Rich Colour" (British Made)
Thanks for looking

Nice finds Mike. Love the boar button!
 
Re: Latest finds Early Flintlock Side Plate and Awesome Wild Boar Sportsman Button!

Posted on your sideplate in "What Is It?" It looks to be from a Brown Bess, although as Timekiller pointed out that sideplate was used on other rifles as well. Really cool find!

Congrats on some very nice finds! :icon_thumright:
 
Re: Latest finds Early Flintlock Side Plate and Awesome Wild Boar Sportsman Button!

Nice Mike :icon_thumright: Really like the side plate!!!!
 
Glad you are doing well up there! I have fond memories of us meeting up for a hunt in Virginia, even though the finds were slim that day. Can't say we didn't try. :) I have been doing well down here in Louisiana as of late.

I love the button. All of those big sportsman's buttons are killer display pieces. I've seen pheasant buttons and an ibex dug, but never a boar.

Nice side plate too!

Best Wishes,


Buck
 
Excellent recovery good display peice for sure. Congrats buddy
 
Congrats on the Brown Bess sideplate Mike. I've dug the last inch of each end, but you got the whole thing. Even though its broke it will display well.

The boar's head sportsman button speaks for itself :director:
 
Awesome finds Mike. When you told me about the sportsman button I got excited and now even more excited when I see it. Congrats on some great recoveries.
 
Mike,
Leave some relics for me. :laughing9: Way to go on the musket piece and getting it ID'd. :thumbsup:
That boar button is one of my favorites. Very neat find.
See ya soon,
Dug
 
Those are some nice finds. I really like the Boars button.
