Last wknd, granthansen and I took an overnighter to MA to visit family and hunt for cellar holes that we were tipped off to. You can read about that, including pics of granthansen's finds, here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/todays-finds/313594-jersey-boys-ma.html, http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/todays-finds/313496-just-found-button.html, and http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/313931-need-help-id-ing-buttons.html.
Wanted to post my take. We think the site is mid-to-late 1800's and so far our finds seem to substantiate that (any info on the below would be appreciated). We hunted anywhere we could, but were limited b/c of much brush. I see a machete in my future. Anyway, enjoy these pics and HH to all.
All mentionables:

Buckles:

Buttons:

Close-up of pine cone/floral button (found 2):

"Imperial Orange IM" button close-up:

Decorative pieces:




Sword handle?:

"The Hero Glass Works Philadelphia, PA" jar lid (also found a Consol. Fruit. Co. NY lid and many others):

Illegible date Indian Head and tack:
