Brass Heel Plates

[Hunters Haven-NC]

Wish I could take credit but my son actually found both plates. One on Friday and the other today. They were around 100 feet apart at an old home site. There's no visual above ground evidence of the home but when we started digging signals we were hitting old brick and mortar. We also found a couple old hoes that looked like trenching tools and an old clothes iron. The kind you had to heat up on a wood stove. Dug up 2 flat buttons nearby also. The brass plates were our best finds so far.

GN. If it's not rain or cold them it's mosquitoes and ticks. It's rare to get a perfect day!

Sweet pair of heel plates. They would look terrific framed and on display.

Very nice HH! Those are really cool, and to find a pair... bonus!

Being that you were out with your son, I couldn't help but laugh at "... we found a couple of old hoes..." I wish that my dad rolled that way!
GL&HH!
