My New Spot Produces Everyday

[WawaDuane]

Been to my new spot 5 times now in the last few weeks and I've been pretty lucky with the finds.

Trade musket side plate.



Jesuit rings found a foot away from each other.









I found this tag from "The City of Owen Sound" which now lays at the bottom of Lake Huron. This is the second luggage tag I've found from a ship that has sank in the Great Lakes.

AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR FINDS THATS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING NOW, WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ! HECK OF A BUNCH OF HISTORY AND THE TAG IS AWESOME.

 

[screwynewy]

great collect of finds you have there. What would you date the Jesuit rings to be? What is the silver disc in the last picture?

 

[Carolina Tom]

Very cool finds. I really like the dog tag and the old rings. Good show!

It's aluminum (or seems like it) and has the Jesuit IHS on it..found near the rings.

That musket side plate is sweet! Snake motif?

Hey WawaDuane,,,,

What's the approximate age of the rings? And how much is one of those rings worth?

I would be interested in buying one,,and either having it made wearable or used as a model for a replica.

The rings are mid to late 1600's according to Robert Bennett who wrote the book (literally) on such finds..."What They Left Behind". I have no idea what one would be worth. I found a beautiful one last year also. I've found 4 1/2 now....I'm pretty lucky....here's last years.

Found this Cleveland hewing axe at the new spot also.....it weighed the old pouch down quite a bit.

Wow. That's about all I can say about the Jesuit rings. Continued success and happy hunting. What and amazing spot you have!

 

[releventchair]

WaWa Duane those are stunning recoveries!

 

[oxbowbarefoot]

Nice relics you've got there. I'm sure some old coins will be popping out of the ground soon.

 

[deershed]

Nice finds!!

I really like those Jesuit rings, gotta wonder if they were his and hers?

 

[Garrett424]

Really nice finds.

Looks like an awesome and historic spot. Hope you can pull some old coins out of there soon.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Great hunt! You found some very interesting artifacts. The rings have some detail, hope they clean up well.

 

[jwarner51]

Lots of history there! I love those Jesuit rings. Good luck and hit that site hard.

My Jesuit rings made the Garrett International find of the month...so that's pretty cool.
