Half a spur

[relic nut]

Not that often we get a day in late January that is 50 degrees so I took the Beast for a spin. I went to one of our hunted to death spots and good finds were few and far between. I did manage a couple buttons, some lead and half of a spur. It looks like it was plated at one time and seems awfully small. Maybe it was for a kid or a lady, don't know. The four hole button and the small key were found at the same site on a previous hunt. Thanks for looking.

Cool, I wonder what time period it's from.

I'd like to know too. My oldest coin from this site was 1800 but I think this is more modern. Maybe someone will school me.

Hey sutphin, were you been Bud? Thanks but I don't think it is a nut. Seems to be some type of hook. The hole has no threads but it is definitely hand forged. We find a lot of hand forged items on this site. Resarch suggest that they used to build wagons here.

Congrats on getting the beast back out and getting some detecting in rn. Looks like it may breath some life into your older sites that you've pounded in the past.

Thanks LD, and you are right. But I need to get off my butt and find some new ground.

Same here, I am just hitting one honey hole cleaning up clad hoping for a keeper or 2 or else I re-hunt old permissions using the sniper coil seeing if I can eke out a few more finds. I will work on new permissions this spring. I hate to line them up now and then hope they do not change their minds when the ground thaws.
