My buddy Bill and I hit a site this weekend that used to have a 1700's Sea Captains house on the lot . The Foundation is all filled in now and the owners mow the mound where the house stood . We did not know if the old house had burned or had fallen into a state of disrepair and was torn down. I was told that this area was hunted in the 80's and perhaps by others scince then but we gave it a shot . It was almost a bust :'( We only managed a few relics. Bill found the ornate Brass keyhole plate and I found the womens buckle piece. The round brass washer piece and the ornate brass ??? Shutter latch ??? I am going to post it on what is it !! Thats it folks ! Thanks for lookng MaineRelic
