Thread: French Colonies Finds

  1. #1

    French Colonies Finds

    Even though this may not look like much, mostly French Marine buttons, bale seals, musket balls, and coins, buckles, it's the better dug items from a decade of hunting French sites dating from the early to mid. 1700s. Up until last Winter I had the coins with coins, all the seals together, buttons too, but then decided it would be much better to do one French case with it all... and I was very glad to see I had enough items to fill it. I don't add much anymore, but so far this year 5 buttons and 1 seal.

    Both full buckles are nice. Esp the one that has the heart design in it. I like the Liard. Only a few of those have come up here. One of houses I hunted the guy pulled one up (but I think it was toast).

    Nicely done Patch, I agree with Jim that Liard is stunning! That case has to lie flat or can it be hung?
