Colonial IRON! Hand wrought hoe, bell, cauldron, shoe buckle

[Scrappy]

I've been keeping my eye on the ground the last few days and I finally got to digging after work today. I did an hour and fifteen minutes which is a lot in my world. Only about an inch of frost was beneath the leaves.

My plan was to go straight for the iron with the Deus. At this colonial site everything is deep, and iron strewn. It's going to take me years to dig this foundation out, but today I went for big iron signals and I wasn't disappointed.





Pewter shoe buckle with the iron chape




Misc including another buckle chape




Nothing has come easy from this site after the coin spill, but that's why it's become my favourite.


Enjoy the Holidays!

Good iron assortment Scrap and that's a VERY old cowbell. HH & MC Steve, Q.

Thanks for looking. Not sure of the exact age, but a majority of finds here have been 18th century.

I can't wait to give it a zap and wax. I've been watching others dig these for a while but this is my first.
