Three small sites today is what I hit.One was colonial,One was mid to late 1800's,& one was a indian site.The colonial site gave up the two buttons pewter,& a weird one that seems to be lead filled I think it's like some others I have that the lead has gone from also another piece of flint from a flint lock some scrap pewter & a few musket shot's.The rest is from the mid to late 1800's site.the indian site would not give up a point so picked up some more pottery.Like I need some more of that.But Indian pottery is getting hard to find or at least the large pieces so when I can I pick them up.Enjoy.........
Take Care,
Pete, :hello:

i always had a soft spot growing up for indian pottery when
walking the fields of nw nc. don' see too much of it here in ny.
wish there was more to be found.

Nice recoveries... I've pulled out some nice looking pewters like that in a Rev War site and my blood was pumping until I noticed there was nothing on it.
keep the finds pouring in :icon_thumright:
 
Thanks Gentlemen, :thumbsup:
This explains the shells & why they were at the site.I knew that shell was big for a 38 not the same 38 I use too. :laughing7:

neat finds!!! MR TUFF
 
love the mini bottle. thing is awesome
 
good hunt! love the little bottle!
 
Nice batch of finds!
Pottery, tiny 'nickel' bottle and 'the big favorite' button are neat recoveries :thumbsup:
 
Thanks everyone, :notworthy: The hoyt's cologne bottle turned out good in the cleaning.Back when I use to bottle hunt I'd find them quite often at late 1800's home sites.They also made a dime cologne too.Bells cologne would show up from time to time as well.But these three came from MD'ing.
Take Care,
