Sunday's colonial digs

My finds from sundays hunt, got the British Brown Bess side plate which I believe is number 5 in the picture making it Circa 1725 - 1760. I also got a broken trade axe, lead saddle shield and a lead seal, The lead seal is a trade item and trade with the Native Americans in this area started in the early sixteen-hundreds, not sure time period of my piece though so if someone could help me date it that would be great!!! 1749 kg 2 toasted copper and other finds came from an old house site. Thanks for looking HH o

That is a sweet side plate. Usually you just find pieces of them.

I believe the lead seal is a cloth seal. I found a similar one last year with similar markings on the back

Nice side plate!

The Lead Cloth Seal will be near impossible to date. But 18th C seems OK for letter style.

That side plate is in amazing shape! Of course, alway love the old coins. The fancy gold colored item is a brooch or other type of jewelry?

No sure what it is, there is nothing on the back, must have been mounted on something else
