Oh yes....but we were digging fort sites from a little over two hundred years ago..finding a soldier's button and holding it in your hand is awesome...we also found a Jesuit ring and a officer's Intaglio ring...with his face carved out of ivory with a blue background..it has his initials... it would have used it for putting his seal on documents.. you melt the red wax and pour it on the envelope to seal it and then he would have stamped his ring in the wax..we found so much that I there isn't room for all of it in the musem. Digging a ancient site would be even better!
