Whoa she's in beautiful shape (the Draped Bust, not the deer).
Congratulations!

For those of us who haven't seen your other posts: what is the "mound"?

The mound is a pile of an old foundation that caved in over the years. I talked my uncle into excavating it 2x. I’ve found 2x George Washington inaugural buttons, multiple coins, 40+ buttons from this site. I raked down the “mound” and scan every few inches.

The deer cuff link could be early 1800’s but I’m not sure.

Oh yes, I remember you explaining that about your uncle’s excavation. I told my wife that story.
Congrats again on that awesome LC!

Could be late 1700s as well, not seen a Stag on these types before, pretty cool.

That cufflink is nice, never saw that pattern before. Probably dates in the 1790s. The Large cent is as nice as you can hope for out of the ground.

What fantastic pieces of history both of them. I would die for a draped bust. I’ll probably cut my pinky off to get one LOL

Only in that condition:)))

Congratulations my friend
