A Cuff link

[ynpto804]

So I've been hunting for about a year now and been have a good time at it. Until today, now I'm addicted. I have this site thats just right down the road from me that I have been hunting when ever I had the chance. I originally thought it was a civil war site but now I'm thinking earlier. This site has very little trash, about the only thing that comes up that is new are modern bullets and paper shotgun shells.
So to the finds. What really got me going where the cuff link. They where on the very edge of a steep decline. They came out of the ground just like the pictures(I am afraid to clean them). From what I can find online I think they are from the 1700s. If any one has any more info I would love to know a little more. The photos aint the best but they have to do. On the front of them there are little flowers that look like dog wood maybe. On the back there is a small tooled "E".
All of the buckles came from the same location and the Oval buckle was 14" down(Gotta love the Etrac)
The last photo is a group shot of the best I've found in the first 6 months.
Well thanks for lookin

A solid silver--and complete--set of sleve links from the 1700s is HARD to find! That's a nice rifle butt plate in the last photo too. Well done!


Best Wishes,

Great cufflink.

I just had my 11th anniversary a day or two ago of hunting my first old site, and finding my first old coins, and that was probably the point that had me hooked.
