Peep hole cover on a door. Nice relics today Ged. Nice kitty also. I found the dog that goes with it. HH mate.

Lovely cat!

[TheMaddogT]

I have a pin pointer thats attached to my detector so I don't leave it behind but I have walked away without my spade and had to go looking for it.

I enjoy your videos and the countryside.

Hi Ged, thanks for the great video. here's a guess for the item at 12:38 could it be the piece of metal that secures a musket to its stock with rectangle eye for the carrying strap?

Were you out twice today? lol only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the mid winter frost lol

[PeaceHavens]

@sidewallfusion

by george I think you've got it ... A musket barrel band with rectangular eye for the carrying strap ... there was an English Civil War Roundhead Guardhouse about a quarter of a mile from where I live ... and I have been looking for Civil War associated items for 40 years ... you have made my day ... thanks matey

[Vespasian12345]

@PeaceHavens sorry mate but I think that is actually a form of 19th century harness fitting. They come up quite a lot, have a look on the PAS website they have quite a few on there....

@PeaceHavens

Hi Ged, I was just wondering about this Musket theory.

The wood below the barrel is rounded off on the underside, for the hand to be able to cup it.

This would mean the square eye would be on the top of the rifle.

That would mean it would be in the way of any aiming device.

Also, where would the barrel go in the straight top part?

[CoinageBritannia]

@PeaceHavens. Indeed! Superb condition copper all the same!

[MrDanzigman]

Look what the cat draged in.. *SSS* Candel Snuffer.. Well I would guess it is a keyhole cover, witch you say - swing to the side. The curtain hanger - could it be something for a servant bell string.. Nice finds.. HH

Friendly John

@MrDanzigman

ah .. cord pull handle ... may be ... thanks for the input

[CoinageBritannia]

@PeaceHavens Second look tells me its an 1823 George IV Irish Half-Penny. Sadly the 8 is an 8

[PeaceHavens]

@CoinageBritannia

Yes ... I had my doubts ... thanks for the input ... I will settle for 1823 ... what's a hundred years between friends ... LOL

[jrw194529]

is there any citys were you live  you must live way in the country

[PeaceHavens]

@jrw194529

I live in a Metropolitian Borough Complex with half a million residents ... but I go out of the city ... not into it ... I haven't been into the city for YONKS ... who needs one way streets going the wrong way to what you want ... parking meters ... people who don't speak my language ... pick pockets ... druggies ... drunks and wall to wall politically correct brain dead officials ... I prefer old fashioned country folk ... hence the acres of trouble free permissions that I have ...

[CoinageBritannia]

The supposed George II is actually George IV. Circa 1822 my best guess of date.

[CoinageBritannia]

Nice hunt Ged. Do you class your tokens under coinage or do you keep them separate out of interest? You seem to find alot of the Co-Op tokens you see.

[PeaceHavens]

@CoinageBritannia

I class tokens as coins ... we are talking about 6 this year ... the Keighly Coop tokens are indigenous to my area .. I once found 5000 Silsden Coop tokens while tip digging ... unfortunately they were iron and the vast majority were rusty and useless .. ah well ...

[ottawadigs]

first item, my guess is a candle snuffer

[PeaceHavens]

@ottawadigs

Agreed ... but ... I haven't seen one as shallow as this ... the one I found 100 yards away from this one was a tall narrow cone shape ... ???

[MrSkooty1968]

A lovely fresh day Ged,i'm out in South Yorkshire tomorrow,will be just as chilly....some nice finds there...HH
