That sounds like a really awesome hunt! I love all the variety in finds!

 

[johnnyi]

wonderful buckle tym. It should clean up well once you runa little "current" through it.

 

[Wallhangers]

Excellent assortment Ty. I don't know why but those standing quarters do not like me and hide when my detector gets close. How did your partner do at the site, is he posting his finds as well? Well done cleaning the newer stuff off the surface, go back and start digging the 1700's stuff now!

Maybe we can camp out in the slave's quarter's.Congrat's on the silver and can't wait to see the lock after it's zapped.Talk atcha later Bud

The brass whatzit you found (pictured to the left of the lock and below the bullet in the photo) is identical to one I found in a CW picket post a few years ago. It had the same age and patina as other brass items from the CW era, and there was very little found in the site besides CW finds.

We came to the conclusion that it is a strap end for a map case or other related leather item. You can still see the old leather clinging between the three posts on the piece:

That was better than my whole summer! Kudos!

 

[West Jersey Detecting]

I am surprised that no one has mentioned this . While all of those finds are terrific, you may have found a very early "Steamboat Willie" pendant. Is it made of scrimshaw?

It could possibly be your best find ever, monetarily if it turns out to be a rare piece. You may want to have it checked out.
