I am always amazed by what has been missed by myself and others.
No matter what anyone tells you about a site my opinion is that there has to be something that they missed.
This post encompasses my finds from Friday to Sunday.
Friday's keepers started out with. And just got better from there. My favorites are the relics.
This old Fleur de lis cufflink was next out of the ground.[ Which was soon followed by this old British Naval button. I am curious to know if any of you can pin down a date line for this button.
I do know that up until 1827 the royal Navy buttons were flat buttons.
I also know that Victorian Royal Navy officers buttons had a lined background and rope rim between 1843 and 1891. In 1891 the lined background was removed from officers buttons and they retain a plain background to this day.
What I do not know is when the two piece buttons were first introduced.
PS this button also has no rope border. The last silvers out of the ground were both US and from the same hole.
It was to dark by this time to get an as found picture of them so this will have to do. Saturday produced far lees keepers but that is the way the cookie crumbles.
