Good stuff, yes the seal is from France, probably early to mid. 1700s. The more complete buckle is just as old as the seal. Keep posting!

Nice finds, great to see you are finding some goodies now that the ground has thawed. I was up in Quebec many years back on a fly in fishing trip a few hundred miles north of Baie- Comeau, the beauty of the pristine lakes and virgin forest and the great fishing I will never forget.

This is a different material culture than we have seen.

I have several coins, many bale seals, couple decent buckles. etc.. It is true though, we don't see it much, probably because if you dig in the South it's CW you're after and early French would only be in the way. Several years ago I traded a single bullet for a nice French Colonial Copper (John Law Sol) to a guy in AL.
