1840's Home Site Hunt Update 11-12

:hello:

Sunday 11-7-10 Beautiful fall sunrise but chilly 30's . I remembered an old house ...circa 1840's , what's left of it "see pic" , next to the Yankee camp I searched months ago. Set it up to be out there Sunday mourning. The site is all grown up and somewhat difficult but the great news is no ticks and chiggers . Posted are some pics of the site , two are of the trash pit items still left from my last visit . Clay crocks and broken bottles .

First dig was a broken crotal bell . Then the 1265 X went into it's we are digging big iron because mode . $:-\$ I found some interesting iron hand tools that need ID. Two sharps 3 ringers , small gold plated ring , a silver ring , rivets , 3 buckles ,two still have a piece of leather intact , complete brass clasp , pewter spoon handle , copper piece of a spoon , tent grommets , assorted flat buttons , 3 general staff eagle coat buttons , and an 1857 flying eagle cent ...un cleaned at the present. Looks like it has a lot of detail under the dirt .

Arrived home in time to watch the Eagles and clean up the saved eagles .Very nice conditions and finally scored some Nov. finds . Added three pics of cleaned up 1857 flying eagle as requested :icon_thumleft:

Thanks for stopping in :icon_pirat:

Re: November , Eagles & Turkeys

Wow looks like a great spot, not only for detecting but bottle digging too. You may even be able to restore that crock.
