Circa 1800-1830 Etched Triggerguard, Lead balls, Flat buttons

[Indiana Digger]

Hi Everyone,

I got out for a few hours and went to my old site today.

I came up with some decent finds, like this etched triggerguard/buttplate.



Some flat buttons...



And some old lead...



I found a couple other old iron relics - still cleaning and trying to figure out what I've got.

Have a great day - I'll be at it again tomorrow.

HH,

Cool indeed, and is interesting having an arrow and Fleur De lys?

I was just reading a couple of days ago that the reason my area has maintained the Indian place names it has was mainly do to the French continuing to use them during the earlier part of our history.
