Got out yesterday and hit a new colonial cellar hole permission. Site was stingy and had, obviously, been dug before but not very recently. I got a few odds and ends but the Find of the Day was this pair of Solid Silver 1757 - 1774 British Royal Navy Captain's Dress Cuff Links. These are identified on two websites (one UK and one in the US). Cuff links, or sleave buttons, are among my favorite finds and these are first solid silver I have found.
Last weekend, I found a very early 1800's one piece Haitian 14th Regiment Cuff Button from the reign of King Cristophe. We had a short hunt before the Awesome Relics New England Annual Golf Championship. I managed 12 buttons, including, two military buttons. The other was a General Service Eagle. I also got half of a KG III copper. Too bad the plow got to it before I did. Happy Hunting!
