Barber, buttons and relic including an etched oval tombac

[toasted]

Pulled my first silver from the Pomander site in over a year. This Barber was under a lighter and next to a nail so no wonder Ive missed it in the past. Also got a few flat buttons and a flat button and Jaw harp from another site. The interesting piece was the oval tombac with the design in it. Im guessing this was a cuff button or link

Best of luck to you sir!

Thanks. Ive found quite a few octagonal cuff links with designs on it on colonial sites but this is the first oval one and first made of tombac

Nice mitt full of finds, well done.
When you stated that no wonder you missed it before, just wondering what detector were you using?

I primarily used a Vaquero, then AT Pro, and now a Deus. Its hard to even find little bits of can slaw here anymore. The three finds came from a small section I guess Ive spent little time on in the past.

Nice looking Barber! Congrats!

Thanks. Finding the earlier Barbers(pre 1910) has not been easy for me and Im sure for many. Ive only found one from the 1890s

Nice barber! I still haven't found one.

 

[dirtlooter]

hate the can slaw, it seems to be served up on the heavy side round here. great job picking up the barber under the other stuff

Congrats on the fine digs

Nice etched tombac. Like you said, likely linked cuff buttons. Late 1700's based on the size and shape. Nice scores!

Eat more Lobsta'

Congrats on your finds and zoning in on that Barber.....not easy.

Agreed late 18th C linked-button (cuff-link). Only had a few of these, not many turn up compared to the other types.

That etched oval tombac is unusual. I've found dozens of oval cuff links, but never a tombac one.
