Haven't been able to get permission on the sites I wanted to hunt so I went to some secondary sites and found a few things. Two weeks ago, after striking out on two permission requests, I went to this old log cabin that I pounded pretty hard over the last 3 years. It has given up 6 colonial coppers, one each of the following: KG II, KG III, Virginia Halfpenny, New Jersey, Vermont, and Connecticut. I put a couple hours in here hoping for another colonial coin. Nothing Colonial this time, but I did find a cute little lock and a nice gilt flower button with an Ives Scott & Co backmark which dates it to 1834 - 1836.
This weekend I went to a couple places and turned up a nice little key, a smooth copper, a large caliber musketball, a neat coal tag, and a nice token with Mt.P.B.CO. which I think stands for Mount Pleasant (PA) Bottling Co. I also found one of these oval pieces with two holes. I have heard they went on saddles, but I will not be 100% conviced of that until I see a Colonial saddle with one of these on it.
