1700's site coughs up 8 coppers, a beautiful spur, a shoe buckle and buttons

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got permission at a cellar hole on private property this past weekend. Been a long time since I had a site produce like this. 8 coppers one being my 1st Rosa Americana, looks like it was in the fire when the house burnt down. a beautiful spur, 2 scabbard tips, a nice watch winder, a crotal bell and some buttons. and the bummer of the weekend was to see a female deer meet her demise in a open cistern.

Nice hunt for sure. That Rosa isn't unusual. Everyone that I have found has some degree of "pimpling" . Something to do with the metal alloy and the mint process that was used to make the coins.

Great finds, well, except for the deer. (That's a bummer) I like how you have everything displayed in the last pic.

Great day of hunting at the new permission, liking that spur great piece, the rowel must of been lost prior. Congrats
Didn't even see that type of stationary stud in this reference of dating spurs.

Yet another amazing hunt Dave, your arms must be sore from digging all those finds!
I always love the story and presentation you put together when you make a post.

Upsetting about the deer falling into the well, hopefully someone will lay some logs across it.
Here's a similar watch winder I found last year.

Take care buddy,
Dave
