The bug has been getting to me so I had to give it another shot today.Kinda rainy on & off but I hammered through it & made some better finds today.Three sites I touched on with some cool finds.I really am digging the cool ass pewter button I found today even though it's in rough shape I'll give her a coat to wear & mark it down as a first of it's kind in my collection.The signs were good & will need some better going over when I get another chance.The big brass P is kinda strange not sure about it myself?Anyway enjoy another get out for me.

Take Care,
Pete,

Sometimes they put letters on telephone poles. Was there one close by?

No, down the river in the boonies as always with me & my hunts.Most places I hunt no one around now & days for miles.Just the way I like it.

I have a letter "B" that looks to be nearly the same style and Creskol kindly responded with: "Your letter B is harness decoration, specifically off of a hames cover similar to this one in my collection". There's a good chance that the folks that lived later on at your site would have had the letter "P" somewhere in their name.

I'm a thinking the one item is a cannon vent primming pick.Kinda had it on my mine & believe it may be after looking into it.

Yeap its a cufflink. But I'm not convinced about the claims (no proof has surfaced) about it being the Restoration of Charles II (1660). I believe these are 18th C like all the others with the same manufacturing techniques.

Thanks cru, - I knew there had been some discussion on these before. At any point it's one I had not found yet so I like it.

I don't get many of these, & when I do they are mostly in copper-alloy, I'm not sure I've had a pewter version yet, so I would be happy with it as well.

Nice forged nail. Those are my favorites to find. The time it took a blacksmith to make just one nail a machine can pump out 100. Nice finds.
