SILVER shows itself at Colonial property ***UPDATE- Is it "WRIGHT" ***
I recently received permission to detect a Colonial property and made my first attempt today. There is one house that was built in the 1790's and the large house was built in 1809. There are a few outbuildings too, and it all sits on about 3 acres.
Right off the bat I found a large button (Colonial?). Then about 30 minutes later a 1901 Barber dime!!! I finally got the silver monkey off my back.
Found some neat things today, and a nice variety.
I found a rectangular plate (copper I think) that once cleaned, revealed a name on it in very old looking text like you would see in the early 1800's possibly.
Here's my take for the day:
*1901 Barber dime.
*1946 Quarter - SILVER
*Old Eagle brand brass padlock. Very nice.
*A U.S. pin with small M.A. in the center. Any idea what war this would be from? What does the M.A. stand for?
*28mm Colonial (?) button w/shank
*23 mm button (possibly pewter) with a lion w/crown and a unicorn on it. Some of the words look like, "SOITOUIMA" "DIEU ET MONORON". Any ideas what the heck I found?
*A rectangular names plate PRINTED BACKWARDS with "Mr. and Mrs. James T. Wright (?). The last name is tough to read. My wife thinks it says "Hughes". Any idea what this could be & why the backwards print?
*Lrg square decorative piece with a flower on it. Any ideas?
*A tiny decorative gold gilt piece with "Ste Anne De Beaupre Sir" on it. There was a tiny thumb screw on the back like on an old earring, before I broke it off.
*1935 wheat.
Well that's all folks. Any help on the mysteries would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MM
