Four early Indians and lots more!

[comfyinvermont]

Had an absolutly fantastic day down at the 1780 house today. Started in the button field and only found one button. Moved over to the field on the other side of the house. I really had only found tin cans in it when I first looked. I decided to go to the back part of the field, and boy, am I glad I did. I found four early Indian heads including a 1859 copper/nickel type one without the shield on the reverse, (the first indian head penny), and 1863 CN an 1864 and 1865 copper all in pretty good condition. I also found a silver plated belt buckle, two more buttons, a bell with the clapper still in it, a fantastic pewter horse bridle rosette with beautiful detail, and two suspender clasps, one says imperial on it and the other says patented October 1871. But my favorite finds for the day was a childs miniture flat iron and cooking pot. Both would date from the mid 1800's. The weather was great and the finds were plentiful. Now we have another week of rain to look forward to. I will post some more pictures in a second posting. Thanks for looking....Lance

Nice finds Lance that property seems to be giving you a lot of relics, I liked the nice buttons but I guess I like the looks of the childs Iron better. My grandmother use to have an antique store and she collected buttons and old irons I don't think she ever had such a small one in her collection though. HH

At least for now, I sure wish I lived back up in the Northeast.

Sure seems to be a WHOLE LOT of better sites to hunt up there. ( None of those pesky hurricanes either )

GREAT JOB !!
