BACK TO THE 1740 HOME* A COPPER & STERLING SILVER BROOCH

well 9 am I said let me make a bee line back to the house i hunted yesterday before the snow comes.at 12 noon it started and packed it in.3 hour hunt and I made the best of it.
1st target was a very cool colonial octagon shaped cloak or dandy button.never dug one like this before so even if this was all i dug today i woulda been happy.but the targets kept poppin! 2 convex 1 piece buttons came next.one plain the other with a basket weave pattern. next target was a 60ish vdi at 6 inches.expectin a button a copper surfaced.I think i can see a date of 17 93? split date with harp & crown over it. KGIII hibernia?
a big brass lamp top was next.a 1887 IH,a few wheaties 1909,1911,1967-D then a sweet silver signal at 4 inches and the marked sterling brooch saw the light of day.only the pin is broke and was a great way to end the day!
any ideas on the lathe turned disc? maybe an intended button not yet complete?

Congrats on the 18th c. octagon button Dave! :notworthy:

I really like your silver brooch find man! :thumbsup:

Here's what I found about it's maker.

"P & B Paye & Baker of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, operated from 1891 until the 1930's. Paye and Baker made some of the most detailed and exquisite Art Nouveau jewellery designs of their time, they were really great works of art."

HH, Dave

Your George Hibernia is most likely 1781 or 82.

I dug a real nice octagon button like that several years back.

Thanks for the additional pics Dave!

I have a 10x jewellers loop I use to get 'up close' looks at all my finds! :thumbsup:

Hope the snow doesn't stick around for tomorrows hunt. The temps are suppose to warm up to around 60F tommorrow. I've got my eye on a sports field for Sunday's hunt! :icon_thumright:
