New Limestone Cellar Hole Site Finds & Mystery Items

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

I researched and found a new dot in the park woods, dating to the 1850 maps through the 1910 maps.




(Buggy suspension?)

Lots of limestone blocks and bricks scattered around the cellar hole made for challenging swinging, found that my 6” coil really was best suited for this site.

Lots of signals hovering around the nickel zone in the dirt, very few high tones.




Maybe the back of a straps guide?


Stamped with a “4” in the center, but no hole to act as a tag? Maybe a improvised 4 cent piece.


This has the same style and “5” as the local beer tokens I find from the 1890-1920 time frame, but not sure on this one.



My best guess on this one is a toy train wheel?


Nice sunflower suspender clasp.


2 true mystery items to me, both cast brass.



My favorite find at this site, different.


Results of 5 hrs of swinging.

Also made it out with Steve to one of his farm permissions, thanks Steve!


We had a Seated/Barber moment.


The lead piece might be an old lead pencil, not sure.

Good luck out there!

Yes thats what the oval piece is.

Your mystery oval loop looks like a handle off a small metal cup.

Mystery item 2 is a tip off a garden cultivator tine.

I always thought those would be iron? This is definitely brass. Thx

That's what I told him Saturday when we went out, escutcheon for a strap guide. I've dug a couple dozen of these, and seen more posted, but it's the first one I've seen with a number stamped on the back.

Nice digs Thad. The strap guide escutcheon is the oldest item from your limestone block site. I would have been willing to bet my best find of the day that the dime would be a Seated when you showed me the dirt clump with the edge sticking out.
