I went to a site that has been pounded for years. I didn't have much time on the site, but thought I'd try to get in what I could. There was a house there from about 1670 due to the nature of the relics found, and it appears it ceased to exist just after the Revolution. There is a nearby house that dates to about 1820 and burned or fell down by 1880. So there is quite a range of items. So today, here are some pics of some of the more fun items. 18th Century "dot diaper basket" salt glazed pottery piece, 17th- early 18th century salt glazed Rhenish stoneware jug handle base, pewter and lead small size rifle balls (or maybe for a pistol), handmade brass tacks and pictured with them a small lead bale seal with letters "KC and 170-", a 17th century to early 18th century integral cast brass button with drilled wedge shank and a 17th century "nipple" button. All were small targets, but that's not so bad for a site that's been dug for 30 years!
