However, that silver color would have given my pulse a go. I'm sure it's not Spanish, but hope springs eternal! ? That silvery glint in the sun did push the ol' heart into hyper-drive for a bit though. 20 hours ago, GB_Amateur said: That helps me make an educated(?) guess -- lead seal for a canvas bag. I think those were pretty common in earlier times. Sometimes they were decorated and sometimes not. Not much more than a WAG on my part, though. I made a composite image of the front and back of the mystery item and I think you're right GB. I can see what looks like a crown to me, so it was probably was a bag seal of some kind. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 That looks to be made of Pewter. Very old too. The 'Crown" may be a vase of flowers. Smart idea to make a composite photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had a great time, detecting a site like this can discourage a lot of people because amount of trash. I think all of us are still learning something every time we are out detecting, at least me anyway. I think the more hours we put on these detectors, great finds will come our way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again, Glenn. I try to learn something everytime I go out as well, since I have so much to learn. I truly appreciate the opportunity to hunt with you and the tips you have given me have helped me greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Thanks, abenson! I'm relatively new to relic hunting so I tend to keep what seasoned relic hunters call trash. But to me it's a connection to people and places from another time and pieces of history that would be lost in many cases to "progress", so I just can't leave things behind. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
