I don't come across too much REALLY old stuff here in central Texas, but I did come across this. It is an early Spanish brass bridle rosette, short cross decorated and all!

Let's see what you consider your BEST relic find. :thumbsup:

I completely agree. I'd much rather an early find worn by the soldier than a civilian! :thumbsup:

I agree, that is a hard choice!
 
A civil war era masonic sword that I wish I hadn't sold years ago. I found it in a tobacco patch without a detector. It was in bad shape,most of the blade was gone as well as the actual handle grip but it looked similar to this one as far as the handle goes-

Hard to say favorite, but probably something that was a great find and most likely never find another one. King George I Indian Peace Medal, circa 1714-1720. The photo shows includes a better of example of one than mine, but mine was still desired by collectors. :thumbsup:

There's your answer then...it's the Ring :laughing9:

Seriously though for me it would be the ring, I know the Bulla is quite rare and so is the ring, you will proberbly never find either again. But a double inscription Posy ring, that's scarse :icon_thumleft:

I will have to think a bit about which would be mine to post :dontknow: it's one of about 4 :help:
