Some Small Silvers ! & Lead Seal
Got out to a new area today,
Around some old piling stumps & rock piles I spotted on a tidal river.
This area has a different substrate than the usual mud, pebbles on top, with a dense claylike yellow sand beneath.
No coppers yet, But 2 Seated Dimes made it a great hunt!
I found a '53 a while back, these are later issue, a '73 & a '91 (last year of issue)
I like the style of Miss Liberty on this long running coin, 1837-1891,
Her Pole & Cap remind me of the 'Liberty Cap' Cent that I am trying to find.
I also got a pewter flatware handle, hand stamped 'R X N/M'?
A convex 20 mm 1 piece button with missing alpha shank, (soaking now, hoping for some details)
and a flat 1 piece backmarked
Ott Robbins New York.
Musketball, Cast jig, & my 3rd pyramid apothecars weight to finish the day.
Forgot the lead seal, I had left it in the trucks console as I wanted to keep it
as found, the first I've found with detail, I don't know much about these, other than apparently a wire would be crimped in this to seal a sack or bale.
I would welcome any feedback on their use
Goin back this morning !
Thanks for Looking & HH to all !
