Revolutionary War, British Cartridge Sling Belt Tip - Pos. ID

[hogge]

Found this on Sunday when we went back to the site of the Vermont copper. Had absolutely no idea, but with the help of PBK and Treasure Net, they positively ID'd this for me. I'm ASTOUNDED and speachless but I'll try. . When I took this from the ground I told my brother I found an old jackknife.(NO KIDDING) After about 2 hrs. in my pocket I took it out again and wiped the dirt off to find it said "Artillery". Never thought it was Revolutionary War, Never mind BRITISH! Many thanks to PBK and ALL who helped ID this Fabulous relic and piece of our nations early history! I guess there is alot that goes on behind the scenes of T-Net that we never see. Now I know! Will post this in BEST FINDS for sure, and with my post here hopefully my second BANNER find in a week. I guess, from what other T-Netters have already posted and mailed me about this, I may have surpassed the "Vermontensium" Vermont copper find, that I thought I never would. Hopefully there are more Revolutionary War relics at this spot we can share with all of you. Good Luck to ALL and I'm so wound up I don't know whether or not I'll be able to sleep tonight. (not kidding on this one either!) HOGGE

Ok, when I see someone hit the banner twice in a week I'm inspired to get out there and help try and kick him off. Looks like I'll take my shot this weekend.

Yeppers!

Now tell me..... Have you been back to the spot to hunt again?

Here's your answer. (or maybe what it should be)

LOL! You got that right. I'd camp out there till every blip and beep was accounted for.

Congratulations on the banner. It must be a great feeling to have two finds on the banner at the same time. I was starting to wonder about this one, certainly not because of its merit, but because of the length of time. Very well deserved brother.

You know with a little TLC I think your find is banner worthy. If you read this I didn't tell you the first person to settle that property was a Loyalist from New York in 1786. He had many kids and all are buried just in the next field from where you found the _ _ _ _ _ _ _, literally 100 feet away. I was talking to the Cladman last night and the only find in the range of being that good is my Rosa Americana two pence which of course I named the site after. Must be 7 or 8 years we've hunted that field and there's still keepers coming out.


I bet this will make a few people wonder what you found.
