I love your pictures Davey :smitten: I'm gonna steal them, make a coffee table book out of them, and sell millions lol So keep doing all of my work for me Ansel, I mean Dave :yes: If the back of your first token is nice, you could mount them side by side with the best sides up. Would look good in a small frame.

hey Timmy,thats a good question :yes:
the stone wall is actually a fireplace hearth , the chimney base thats built in the cellar the chimney was built on it. the small square hole is either an area for small storage or most likely where the ash would fall down to be collected.

I would think pewter went out of style before that Kinda with the cloakers or a bit earlier. But just a guess though. And you want to detect with us? rofl What kind of twisted mind would want to do that again 8/ maybe this one :cheering:

You should be happy anyone answered rofl... I would think civilian styles and military styles of buttons would probably end at close, but different times. Usually the general public changes there mind way before the military lets go of something lol
