Back to the 1897 homesite

[cooper1841]

Can not believe this weather for Feb. in Michigan.........a week of 50 and 60 degrees Few keepers again. No easy ones today. Over 100 years of leaves, limbs, down trees, most targets were 6 to 10 inches deep, and lots of roots to dig through, Nothing earth shattering, A flat bell, another Ax head, some flat ware, always find a harmonica reed at every home site, and a few "Whats its?" Just glad to be diggin in Feb.....HH

In your photo of "What its?", the T-shaped piece with a slot: brass right? I dug one just like it here in New York last season and I haven't figured out what it's from. It looks a lot like the clasp on horse-blanket belly straps, but there's nothing to fix the cloth to on the other end. Hope someone has the answer to the mystery!
