1720-1790's Rounded Ends Shoe Buckle (Complete), Pocket Watch Key, 1876 IH Penny, 1989 British Pound, Lead Saddle Grommet

[Deleted member 140734]

Started the day early continuing where I left off yesterday, to scan an old dirt road on the way to a mid-1800's to early 1900's site. Not much luck but I did find a 1876 Indian in bad shape, a lead (saddle?) grommet with two prongs, and a 1989 British Pound. The latter is a real anomaly. I've found KG I, II, & III coins in these woods. I'm in New York State so I guess the Queen wanted to make an appearance! Kinda like a fat nickel. Surprised me.

Gave up on this area around 4 PM despite landing some silver and artifacts here my last two outings. Went back to my true love, the colonials, a hike and a hill away. And they rewarded me with this beautiful complete shoe buckle from a 6 inch depth. I prize my Georgian shoe buckle collection and jokingly refer to them as colonial flat tires. Last year I found the complete knee buckle I photographed with it. I found them about 30 yards away from each other and they make a nice matched set. I think they are worthy of permanent placement in a local museum some day. Probably rare to have a set in this condition and they are so representative of the era.

The small key from 4" depth demonstrates that the Nox 800 is a capable machine. As of course many of us know.

Finding the shoe buckle at the end of the day answered the all important question of where I will be detecting next weekend.

Today I also found the largest one piece connected horse shoe I've ever found. Must have been from a draft animal.
