Early 1800's home site

Found another home site this evening near the TN River. Walking some pasture fields looking for a spring. Found a really heavy flowing spring coming out from the bottom of a small bluff the land owner had told me about. On the rise above it hit another old home site. Didn't get to hunt the area but about 45 minutes until dark caught me. Found another one walking out but didn't have time to hunt it. No rotten cans or Mason Jar lids so think it is a really early site for this area. And as usual no coins. Flat buttons, parts of a pewter utensil, old knife blade, and copper junk.

The plating on this one is almost an orange color and very heavy made.

Copper or brass trim from furniture or something

Thought this was possibly a cut coin at first....but don't look like it

Nice buttons and I really like that piece of furniture trim that you found. It should clean up and display well. Good luck with the new sites!

Calmerthanu........that is cool. Wonder what they came off of. This home is much closer to the town part of Washington TN than the others I have found lately. Hope it will produce some coins and CW relics as well. Find a few CW relics in the area and most are near where the actual old town used to be. Big time anxious to hunt it again ......trying to catch the Creeping-Crud version of the common Cold I think today so taking a break but plan on hunting most of the day tomorrow if weather and Crud permit. :icon_thumleft:
