Got out for a few hours with a buddy this morning to hunt a foundation that borders on the edge of a field. Here's a pic of the edge of the field. The foundation is about 20 feet into the tree line. After taking this picture I turned around and took a picture of my gear in the field which is where I dug a large cent. (1822 Matron Head).

Got a few things around the foundation as well, including this complete shoe buckle frame. Most of the frames I dig are rectangle shaped. This one was a bit smaller and more square shaped.

Not sure what this is. Decorative furniture piece?

Found this in the field near the large cent. Seems to be made of pewter. It broke into two pieces as I pulled it out of the hole.

Here's a compilation picture of my finds for the day.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your next hunt. :thumbsup:

Good day my friend, was hoping we would get a few more coins. Glad you found that one out in the field, maybe with out you walking that field, that large cent would have been lost forever. Good job.

Great hunt Evolution! I bet there is a ton more at that spot and the short grass is a huge plus. Looking forward to what else turns up there.
