2 HOUR HUNT NETS 200+ YEAR OLD ANCHOR BUTTON & BUCKLE FRAME

[Cross Potent]

Desperate to swing I braved the sleet and 20 mph winds on a local spot just 20 minutes away. That Deus is really amazing since we wrote this spot off years ago. I stayed in the iron bed and dug anything even half worthwhile. I should have been using the 9" and will next time. I dang near froze out there for a few bits of metal. But i really like the button. The cuff link is pretty cool too. Got it and the connecting piece. I realized I had found a similar piece at another site late last year. Looks like a close enough match to put them together.

Another good hunt CP. The cuff links resemble a late 1700s set I dug in a C.S.A. camp a few years ago. WTG, Q.

Man that's a great looking button CP! And I'm a sucker for a nice buckle

 

[Cross Potent]

Yep, this site is a solid 200 years old. The latest coin found was a 1795 halfpenny. Pretty confident the site existed 1750-1800. Maybe even 1770-1800.

Very nice finds CP. I envy your finds, but not your weather! GL&HH.

Brutal conditions, but a nice payoff!! WTG on matching the cuff links and love the button! Extreme Treasure Hunters we are, I had it a little warmer Sunday but it was a muddy mess and this 53 year old body felt it the next day! Congrats CP!

Nice finds CP! There ought to be naval buttons scattered all over that peninsula. That ones nice as are the buckle and cuff links. But man don't you know that they would have waited right where they were for you to dig when the weather was a little better?

Good stuff there! Nice oval knee buckle. The Navy is sweet as is the cuff link.

LOL. I would have never gone otherwise. I have other sites that desperately need my attention.

For only two hours you did exceptionally well. The Deus is a treasure finding little machine. The naval button is really fantastic.
