    For coinnut

    You say I find the strangest stuff. Take a look at these two beauties. Found at two different locations. When I found the shield, There was a 1893 Indian head in great shape right under it (some parts ofthe coin have some luster.)

    Both look nice to me! How big is that shield? Can you compare it to a coin so we can see?

    Here's a couple more pics. The shield is approximately 3 1/2 tall and 3 wide. Some guys said it might have gone on a piece of furniture. What do you think? Uhhhh. Maybe I should of posted this in the relic category. That's ok maybe one of the moderators can move it for me. Delthinkingabout:

    Thanks for the size comparison. From a piece of furniture... hmmm? Could be, but personally I think it might be from an ancient Aztec (rather small) warrior!

    Consider your post moved Sal lol There is a small fee for moving it like a furniture shield lol Nice couple of relics and I have no idea on where it was attached. My guess would have been a helmet, but furniture is good too lol
    Finding relics is in my blood
