An awesome year you had indeed.
Just 1 of the SC buttons would have made my year , esp, the ones in GREAT Condition.

Also I admire you for getting the Iron Buckles & tools Cleaned up so well; they look great cooked & coated.

Thanks for the compliments Davers. I really enjoy the electrolysis process and digging big iron.

That is quite a nice display of treasures you got there. I think that eagle medallion is a saw medallion. I found one just like it and was able to ID it in the what is it section.

Thanks; that was one theory and makes sense.

Thatโ€™s a very impressive season my friend! Great variety of finds. I love digging 1812 buttons. I think they have the best designs. The research is everything in my opinion. If youโ€™re not on ground with early finds you sure as hell wonโ€™t find any. That jug is my favorite. Just an amazing piece

You had a really good year. The restoration and preservation are superb.

That silver button is really something else. I remember when you found it.

Congrats on an exceptional set of finds. Best of luck n 2018. I can hardly wait to see what you find next.

Thanks Abe. I think I am obsessed with the research-sometimes I stare at plats, maps and documents on the computer screen so much I think I'm going cross-eyed. :tard: But it is all worth it when I locate a virgin 18th century home site, and most of the ones I find have never been detected (no cellar holes).
