A First For Us--Draped Busts! 1683 Mass Property

[btjbtj]

Hi everyone,

John cleared brambles from a new area near where some old outbuildings are on his property. He started detecting and found an 1802 large cent--worn, but he can still see the date and some lettering. He cleaned it up a bit and went back out. Would you believe in the same hole he dug an 1803 large cent?! So cool. This one is in better condition. He also found a pretty basket-weave button, age unknown, tiny bit of gold left, and what might be another Victorian sash cinch (not sure). Hope you all have a great weekend! As always, thanks for looking! -Lisa & John

I'm sure the best is yet to come L & J, keep clearing that dirt. Those basket weave buttons were popular in the late 18th century.

hate to smack you with reality____________________the bottom pics are piece of harmonica reed, sorry----no treasure there. the LC's are awesomeI'll wait for the next episode of "24" starring L & J

Sorry too, that is not a harmonica reed, (or piece of one). Too large, and reeds are riveted on.
It is an accordion reed.
If you ever find a larger one still it will be from a pump organ.
Nice 1803 LC.
