Brrrr, burrs, barrel, buttons, buckle

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

I hate, hate, hate these tiny burrs, can't seem to avoid them at this site. Tried clearing paths in the high weeds with a plywood barrel worked pretty well, but was exhausting .

Found a good amount of decent relics and early wheats.
The piece in the upper right is super ornate, anyone know what this is?

Silver to wheat ratio; 37:141.

Good luck out there.

It looks like one part of a 'change purse'.

I agree, but add that it might be a regular, large-sized purse! Sub

You steamroll the weeds?!? Some really cool old relics you have here. That intricate ornate "purse" piece is so totally SWEET! Great condition and excellent recovery. What a nice display item. You know where to find the good stuff buddy! Weeds? Baahhaaahaaaa!!! I'll just smash em' FLAT!

Those beggar lice are a *****. Them and Spanish needles. I wonder if they'll stick to those disposable white coveralls...

I've heard that dragging an old piece of carpet through the area collects them up - maybe you could wrap some around the barrel when you roll it out?

Nice relics. The part your asking about may also be part of a sash buckle of vintage brooch.

How do you carry that in there?

The steam roller is now painted in gloss black and there is a cable towing system that I engineered. A few hundred yards of 4' wide paths now on the hillside. With the knocked down heavy weeds you lose a critical 2-3" of depth so I was mostly pulling larger relics with my detector. A better detector and large coil could do some damage.
