Say what?
Hopefully an expert will come along. I'm looking on Heritage for one with the A in AN next to X and coming up with Salmon 1-A so far... seems to be a match.

Thedrive, I'd love to hear your backstory on finding this beauty!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hard to believe this was in the ground for 270 years.

if its real it worth several thousand bucks.
i dont have the ability to authenticate this series with confidence. it looks good enough that I would consider seeking a professional opinion if it were mine.

To CCF , wow that's insane . assuming it's copper that should have come out of the ground in a real shabby condition after 270 years . Hope it's genuine !  |

Nice find! Did you find it in the UK? Would be interesting to glean how it could have made its way there.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
