I found this slip joint metal detecting in some old woods can anyone help ID?

Thanks for the picture waynorth, what time period would you put it at? Makes sense it's origin is from CT, I found it about 10 minutes north of Boston in a wooded area overlooking a river. Maybe a fisherman threw it deep into the woods out of the frustration of snapping a blade, seems the scale was broken before it was dropped/lost.

It was actually up in Beverly to be exact, 10 minutes being a figure of speech, it is more like 20 minutes without traffic lol. I should consider detecting in some of those areas closer to the city, I bet some of them remain undetected to this day.
 
Nice id Charlie!! Too bad you didn't find that one sooner, I think it is time for a proper burial:)
 
Beverly? Heck, that's less than an hour from me.

As to my ability to bring that one back, it may be beyond even my skill set... :eek:

I'd bet you would do well in that area I mentioned in the parks along the Mystic. ;) :thumbup:

Heeey maybe it was on the mayflower or in the civil war or something..;)

I'm reminded of my grandads axe story -no doubt many will have heard it-It was one of those famous axes that lasted virtually forever-only changed the handle 7 times and its only had 4 new heads put on.

In which we learn that "broken," like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. ;)

Save the shield at least, no matter what else you do with it NS. Fine looking HJ's Charlie, as though there were another kind. :D Perhaps you could use the cleaned up shield on a custom piece? Or send it to Charlie for proper burial, with all due honors. Does rust help gardens grow? :D
Thanks, Neal
PS-NJ totally agreed. Love this place. Hilarious.
 
Archeologists find all sorts of relics in various states of decay. Many end up in museums. I would have cleaned it up as best as I could and then would have displayed it.
