Finally Something To Post About!

[The Rebel]

Well this year has been pretty dull but last Sunday I went to an old spot I had been to before.

Went down the trail further and saw this wonderful looking site. Unfortunately all I found here was the pipe stem on top of a rock on the chimney pile, that someone had left there.

Wandered down further even more & found another site. All I dug is what appears to be a bookmark with a man running on it.

About 1pm it was so hot & humid I decided to call it quits & I had a bit of hiking to get back to the car.

The picture of the copper was from an earlier hunt.

Thanks for looking,
Roger

Certainly worth posting about! Great hunt.

You need know when that next beep will reveal the find of a lifetime.

Thanks! That so called book mark JUST took a turn for the better:

From Del at American Detectorist: Ok Roger , as I was making your curiosity run wild i found a great example of a similar one . your "bookmark" is actually a 1700's era sword or bayonet scabbard hook or stud , this is item that fastens the sword scabbard onto the belt.
here is a close example of one

Is the larger ornate piece with two holes in it a furniture brass ? (dresser or cabinet ?) it looks 18th C. to me .
