bracelet and relics

[McCDig]

Got out for two hours late this afternoon and ended up digging mostly mid-tones; there were very few high tones. Several of the mid-tones turned out to be nickels.

From the mid-tone responses I dug a buckle fragment with a deep green patina. Another mid-tone yielded a silver bracelet.

The one high-tone relic is a bit of a puzzle to me. It is dome-shaped, looks like brass and the back shows evidence of iron and lead.

Congrats on the Silver bracelet,
You got a nice variety of finds.

The button on the face of it, appears to be a 17th century "nipple" button, however, these normally were not made of two types of metal, so I'm not sure on this one.

[McCDig]

Thx WaterScoop! I was chased off the field by cold hands and feet....and stopped saying "This is my last hole"!

 

[smokeythecat]

There is no last hole. Keep pounding it!

 

[McCDig]

Thx Crusader for the ID! You and smokey recognized something old. To me the patina and the style spoke of age but I know nothing of "nipple" buttons. Now I know a little.

Kicking butt that's SWEEET silver is always great. Thanks for sharing with us, Tommy

 

[McCDig]

Thx azdirtdigger! That was another mixed-tone surprise....jewelry in the plug!

 

[smokeythecat]

Your buckle piece also appears 18th century. Might be some real goodies on that site. Mercury? Yuck. Do not taste it!

 

[McCDig]

Thx Tommy! This site just keeps giving. Was going slow and listening to the external speaker (head-phone jack not functional at this point). When it's spring and the grass is cut there will be a lot more area to search again.
