🥇 BANNER Unique early Silversmith Cross

[Relicific]

Yesterday I decided to head back to a woods spot I hunted once before.
I’ve found a couple of musket balls and square nails the last time I went there so I knew this site had potential.

When I dug this cross it was covered in dirt,but I knew it was Silver cause of the signal I got.

It was only when I cleaned it thou that I noticed it was a silversmiths handmade Cross.

No makers mark on it and don’t know the exact age of the Cross,but I love the art work on it.

Well this find surely made my Day.

Beautiful, Tony!!

I'm a few days late to the party due to some travel, but after seeing comments by some of the best and brightest on this forum support an 18th C. date and recognize the rarity, I'm really in awe of this find.

I'm casting my banner vote (and I'm still scratching my head over your incredible Louis XV not being up there!)

Thank you
I Still trying to understand what the criteria for a Banner is?
Still a mystery to me lol.

Wow thats amazing , will be interesting to find out more about it. The amount of wear through the chain hole would suggest it was worn for a great deal of time before being lost.

I too am surprised that your cross hasn't recieved enough banner votes to make it yet , but this is a fickle crowd , I'll keep bumping it though.

If you unlock that great mystery please tell the rest of us.

I have to tell you that I pride myself on being fairly knowledgeable about early finds but I would have had no idea that this was as early as it appears to be. Congrats on a really unique early find

I believe it has nothing to do with the number of votes.

It would help if a link to some source material was included instead of going by the word of just a few on here. I too would have no idea that this was that old.

Fits in with my best guess, so I'm not losing it yet. Congrats on your 18th C find - confirmed.

That is quite interesting, great find. Doesn't quite look like jesus on the back either

I sure hate to see this amazing find get passed over without a trip to the top. Us colonial relic diggers are clearly in the minority here seeing that this hasn't made banner - sad
