Some more colonial relics,shakos,coins.

[Aureus]

Didn't make a new post for a couple of weeks due to the combination of laziness and busy schedule. Managed to get out a few times since my last post with some cool relics and coins.

My favorite military relic came out of the ground in an absolutely horrible shape. I was almost certain that there's nothing to be done to fix it, to the point that I carried it in my car for a few days without even taking a second look. Luckily, with a help from a friend I managed to straighten it up and am very satisfied with the result.

My first ''Albert'' British shako from 1830's-1850's Here are the before and after pics





The center piece is missing but I have found an other piece a few weeks ago at the same spot. I doubt they went together but it does look pretty good.



And here's a similar shako from the same period.



Found an other British ''Horn'' shako from 1830's (sixth one from that spot)



An other Lion's head device



A few possible military volunteer buttons from 1830's-1850's



British militia officer's button 1850's



British 15th regiment of foot from the same period



Got an other anthropomorphic clay pipe. Only my second one in 5 years of detecting



Almost mint 1837 Lower Canada Halfpenny (Banque du Peuple type)



An other one of the City Bank type



A beat Civil War token



Bank of Montreal token 1842



A few early civilian buttons (a bone back is the first one for me)



And an old medicine bottle



Thanks for the comments.

Thanks BLK HOLE. I believe it was a military camp in early to mid 1800's

You sure know how to make a fella jealous really though, you always bring it on home with killer hunts

 

[Gridwalker306]

Some really superb finds there, and you did a great job straightening out the big shako piece!

 

[tahomatom]

Wow, I'm so jealous. Oldest coin I've found is 1929 penny wore out in some old timers pocket.

 

[Relicific]

Great job restoring that shako.
That’s a great site you got there.

Man, you really scored! Incredible finds!

Great saves and nice job on the restoration. Congrats!

Great finds and good repair job on the plate. The piece you've matched it up with definitely isn't a match as the round portion is actually an ear boss I believe.

Thanks ColonialDude. No, as I have mentioned it's not really a match. Can you show me an me example of ear boss, not really sure what it is.
