Stunning 1749 Farthing, 18th Century Cufflinks, Shoe Buckle, Intricate Mystery Piece

[Ahab8]

Went back to the site that I found last weekend. Started a bit slow as I spent about an hour moving dead trees and limbs. Things heated up quickly with a few coppers including a gorgeous 1749 farthing. No idea why these are so hard to find but they are. I've always wanted one nice one. This thing is incredible! I also found 4 more half penny's which makes 16 pre 1750 coins in two outings. Midway through the hunt I dug a beautifully detailed oval piece. I have no idea what it may be as I see no attachment points....but I love this thing. Then came a big bucket lister for me. I've always wanted to find a linked set of Cufflinks. Today that happened. I also dug another Cufflink with a rose design on it. After I got home I realized I had both of them. Not sure if this is considered a Tudor rose or not. I found a few shoe buckle frags and a few nice early buttons including two early pewters with the huge shanks.
I decided to hike out and try to locate David's cabin site today. I had no luck but I found a random shoe buckle frame which was a nice surprise. I also have found rear there were 2 other early cabins on this property. If they're half as productive as this one it's gonna be quite a year. These two hunts have been so fun. Thanks for looking and any info on the mystery piece and the links would be much appreciated

Good Gosh Abe! Now I know why I'm in such a dry spell, you found all the colonial!
The farthing is in fantastic shape. I really like the cufflinks too. The first one I found, I didn't even know what it was until I looked it up.
Yours is a beaut. What a great site. I think even some of your half penny's look pretty doggone good too. I also like finding the buckles.
WTG! Keep em coming!

Yeah this has been the most productive spot I've ever hit. Hope it's got a few more surprises in there

The condition of those coppers is something to behold. Another killer hunt. Can't wait to see what comes out next. That has been a banner site to say the least.

Thanks Evan. These spots are a rarity for sure

Congrats!

Just gotta hammer that research and eventually one will turn up buddy
