It's not my mates apart from anything else I offered to let him have it and he declined, he was also as surprised and pleased as I was. He did take the 1 and $2 coins though I wouldn't sell it, great for the collection.

He is not allowed to have someone else's jewellery , the jewellery it is picked by the new recruit and it's his emblem/badge. Obviously within reasons he nicely refused(my guess) not to have it.
Once again I cannot say more.

Today I found more Jewellery, of the costume variety this time I suppose, but someone would have liked it back in the day. Snake buckle with a ring still on it as well as the fitting it busted off in the same hole, couple of other snake buckle fittings nearby, but no snakes. The box top, I've no idea, reminds me of the tobacco boxes that rolled your cigarettes.

The fitting within the top of the box fell out when I removed the dirt, might've put it back upside down, can't remember how it looked before the all the dirt came off

 

[Goldpick]

Snuff box maybe? Love those snake buckles, wish they were a bit more common over here.

 

[ColinD]

They certainly were the most popular buckle back in the day it seems, got another for the collection today, always grateful to get one.

[ColinD]

The broken ones are still great Cleasby, coming out of the ground none of them are worth $$$'s but they are magic pieces of history and great to find, I really like your buckles, would like to find a broken one myself.
Maltisau, looking forward to seeing your buckle.

Some nice axe heads, part of a bell some other pieces but the black powder flask made my day, same type as the first one I found but in far better condition and both sides of it present. Well chuffed to get it.

 

[cleasby]

Different good work

 

[Sandta]

Nice

 

[Goldpick]

Pretty cool find Colin, I haven't managed to come across an intact flask as yet - they look pretty fragile.

 

[ColinD]

They are, you have to make good use of the old pinpointer to make sure you don't put a digging tool through things like that.
