CELLAR HOLES*OLD SCABBARD & SILVER

Roger & myself headed down to a few new sites.the 1st two sites were pounded to death.the last one we had some luck at.It was rough swinging as you can tell by all the barberry bushes.I think this site is worse than the site I found my 3rd GW button at.
got a few buttons,a 44 merc and this cool scabbard.any ideas on its age?
was real cold out there at 5am

Yes those over grown spots are tough ! But you just never know what you will find as most will skip it and go for easy pastures. Looks like you did well . H.H.

No copper to add to the count Captain? Oh well, you had a very good hunt anyway. Don't recognize the scabbard. HH, Quindy.

I haven't posted for a long time but couldn't pass up this post. I believe your " scabbard" is a hooked quillion type, similar to the British models used before WW1 and into early WW1 . It would be nice to know how it ended up in this local.

Good hunting

Just a thank you or an acknowledgment every once in a while is nice.A lot goes into researching and if you type like I do...a lot of effort goes into replies

Your scabbard piece is the Throat which would be fitted into a leather,"Frog",and the nipple would hold it in place.They date from the early 1800's into the early 1900's

Re: CELLAR HOLES*OLD SCABBARD & SILVER

Had a blast Dave on Sun! Boy was I draggin yesterday! That scabbard has got to be in the 1850's to 1865 in my opinion. Still more research to be done.

Can't wait to hit up those sites again.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
