Back to the cellar hole - 18thC Buttons and 1838 LC

[Bramblefind]

Spent a couple hours yesterday and today at the cellar hole I located recently. Both days it seemed I spent nearly two hours finding nothing. I think all my finds came when I had about a 1/2 hour left before I had to leave Yesterday I spent some time in the stone wall enclosure area and found all the buttons in the first pic. Dandy button and tombac and one with a [crown] London backmark.

Then today I went back behind the cellar hole because I didn't know what else to do and was randomly hunting in the high brush by a stone wall first I got the thimble and started think "hmmm.. something was going on back here!) and then got a beautiful hit for the 1838 large cent

Then I wandered a little more and found the well with a cool bottle next to it (unfortunately has a hole in it ).

Still having fun with this site Here are the pics-

Large cent before and after cleaning

Thimble and pottery I can never get enough.

That large cent sure didn't see much circulation before being lost!

Thanks so much everyone! I will definitely be going back there to look for more keepers. Unfortunately the cellar hole itself is just full of trash But I bet there is treasure in there so that is motivation for sure!

I think I am hooked on digging old cellar holes now And the mapping and research for more will give me plenty to occupy myself with this winter

I sure wish I had a place like that to hunt "I don't know what else to do"!
Great looking finds there Bramblefind!
I especially love this button . . . is this the "Dandy" that you referred to?

Thanks to everyone for all the support and encouragement! Really appreciate having this board available to me. I've learned so much and it's so awesome to have a place to show my finds

I sure wish I had a place like that to hunt "I don't know what else to do"!

Yep! I called that one the Dandy - it was practically a surface find! Part of it was sticking out of the ground when I brushed the leaves off. What a fantastic signal it gave

Because this helps me recall the site and I just think it is interesting (at least to me!) Here is a perspective of where I found that button-
