1600's Narragansett Indian brass kettle indian point*coppers*reale*eagle buttons

Issac was up from Va and we decided to take him to a couple sites we did well at last visit there.
we found a new site and started there.was hit pretty good by someone before us but I was really stoked when this 1600's Narragansett Indian tribe brass kettle arrow point popped out.i got a large colonial coat button from this site as well.
off to the button site next.this site gave up nice early artillery buttons last visit and today was no exception.Dan got a nice copper signal and i walked over to check with my XLT.nothing! couldn't hear it at 5 inches which is crazy.something wrong with my machine.Issac checked it with his AT PRO bam nice n clear.i quickly broke down the XLT and assembled the MXT ALL-PRO I carried in my back pack.
Now I started finding stuff.a few one piece convex eagle artillery buttons which are toasted,next i got a nice coin spill in the road.2 matron head LC's and a 178? spanish 1 reale.a few more buttons.we worked this site for awhile then headed to one last site to end the day.there I got a rare Machins Mills 1772 KGIII. a great day was had by all.everyone came out with nice keepers.Issac teared it up.killer buttons and a complete shoe buckle.16 years old and he looked like a veteran cellar hole hunter out there.

I didn't post last saturdays finds but got a beautiful 1805 draped bust half cent and a 1776 1/2 reale. I was told this may be a Rev War shoulder strap sling buckle? any feed back would be appreciated and a broken eagle wing from a shako hat plate.bummer

I just voted banner on this and hope it makes it up too where it belongs, but regardless it is an amazing find and a fantastic piece of history. I very much appreciate the people that took the time to explain more about this piece. What I love most about this site is how many people there are that have a vast amount if knowledge in certain areas and share it with those of us that are eager to learn.
Nice try on changing the subject. Rather than, (big mouth me), get involved in the conversation, I'm just gonna sit back and watch how this one pans out.:laughing7: But I will say this....... I kinda like the outfits. Almost like a SWAT team of extreme detectorists! Where can I get outfitted like that??

Ha well I gave it a shot. It is a great find and it bums me out when these posts get cluttered up with all of the personal stuff. I so enjoy seeing these pieces of history and I love learning as much about this stuff as I can. And yes those are some bad ass plastic bags lol Hey anything for the cause man. If it gets you to the treasure I'm all for it. Ok I'm gonna shut up now and let the boys continue

Congratulations
