Cellar hunt produces Civil War,coins buckles..

[johnnyblaze]

Got out to an area that has 3 Cellar Holes in it..Expecting it to be totally pounded out i was surprised to get a buckle right away

I walked by the first cellar 3 times before finding it..Right on the side of a main walking trail
Man those things can hide..I only hunted the first Cellar on Monday for about three hours..
It is in pretty rough shape..

Scored a General service Civil War button
This is big around here they hardly never pop up.The thing that is cool about this is the name on the 1870 map just may be the Veteran of the Civil war who lost this button..Time frame is just about right
I found it in the privy area.Probably lost it while taking a s**t..

Got a smoked KG and Lagee as we say it..Or a couple Coppas

The strange coin or button has a date of 1797..It is much larger than a regular coin..I dont know what the heck it is..Looks like somebody carved into it??
It was the year Washington resigned it could have something to do with that i thought..

This Ram head was probably the front door knocker..It is way to heavy for a draw pull..I think

Some cool buckles and a nice decor ladies type buckle..
The long thin buckle had gold gilt on it and i have never found one quite like it..

Have fun out there

That is an odd peice, the date looks like that off a DB largie is it close to size if that or bigger?

The rams head is a way cool find.

Can you get us a couple close ups (and crop them to get them as big as possible) of the mystery coin ?

 

[kuger]

Very cool Johhny!I have seen those two tongued buckles before,seems to me they date to the 1870's?

 

[Steve in PA]

Nice digs JB, love the Rams head. The coin that was carved into is an real oddity.

Johnny that is some awesome hunting, the buckle is real cool they sure like to hide like you said they do.

Neat what does the back look like on the 1797 coin?

 

[Nooberz]

Sweet finds! That is a weird looking thing. The 1797 doesn't look stamped like a coin, weird.

Nice hunt JB! I'm intrigued by that mystery coin as well. Can you figure out what the lettering is across the top? Looks like the last 2 letters are FY or FV. That should help to ID it. Very cool find!

 

[worldtalker]
