Another great assortment of early finds CP. And wayda go on the cobs! Like you, I have found multiple colonial silver at many sites, but never 4 cobs. And that stud chape buckle is really cool too. Too bad that ring doesn't have a family crest or other design on the face, but it still looks quite early. I've only managed to dig 2 signet rings in 20 years, so they're definitely hard to come by. I believe that threaded ring piece is a reins guide. I know you're anxious to get back in there, and with warmer and drier weather next week everyone should finally be able to get back in the fields, including myself.

Glad to see you could get back out to that great site in between the snow, rain, mud, cold crappy weather and that field didn't disapoint. Don't know where to start congratulations on your finds they're all nice. The ring thing with the threaded stem is a rein guide or at least it appears to be although I have never seen one that small. Can't wait to see what else you find once this nasty weather gets past us.

I was just taking notice that although there are plenty of coins, leather ornaments and other relics at this site, the buttons are relatively few. Seems as though if this was a heavily occupied area your button count would be considerably higher. Very strange. And usually when this much silver is present there's a good chance a tavern or inn was on the site, or a busy plantation. If it's a plantation site, there will be several other outbuildings with their own iron patches and relics. Regardless, you should be able to find a sizable trash pit(s) there. I know I've mentioned that multiple times, but your best finds could actually come from the pits if you can be fortunate enough to locate them. In many cases, the 17th century pits were located in close proximity to the structure so if you can find the major iron patch the pits should be lurking close-by. Good luck!
