[Brian W]

I went to a spot i found last year...It was already hunted so i didnt spend too much time there...I decided to go back and take my time working the cellars and pastures...The place is huge...We found a great spot with some targets..All from 1700's I found this sweet Batwing buckle, Its huge 3 1/2 X 2 1/2..Found some nice Dandy buttons and a cuff size tombac...I found one coin a toasty George II...My hunting buddy found a 1723 Woods Hibernia and a 1787 conn copper ...We were so frustrated because the other detectorists didnt fill there holes ...We filled in alot but there are tons...People who see us there will think we did it, And we always fill our holes...Anyways here are the finds

(I still think they're 1700s finds, and this grouping supports that.)

I wouldn't be surprised if the buckle is 1700s but the finds don't really support anything. The site could be 1815. (The buckle is closer to 1800 than it is 1700 I bet) The Georgie definitely wasn't lost in the mid. 1700s and the CT puts the site at least 1787. (only 13 years away) Don't get me wrong it's an old site, but very few digs from a site that went into the early 1800s site can easily turn up the same stuff.

One of the best signs for me that I'm at a good early site is we're digging lots of buttons and none have backmarks. If that happens good stuff is on the way, or has already been dug. Unfortunately most of our sites go into the 1800s, with the mojority of years being 1800s, but like I said older stuff still turns up.
