Colonial Buckles and nice tombac button..Pewter spoon frags

[Brian W]

Went back to the 1700's cellar hole, in hope to find some more sweet relics...I found a sweet buckle with some nice detail on it....It is extremly curved...I also found a nice tombac button ..some pewter spoon fragments...my buddie found a couple of nice dandy buttons

You gotta love those old buckles, those spoon frags are cool as well.

Seeing so few targets it seems like the finds are getting limited there, but when a buckle pops up it kinda seems like there should be more smaller stuff that was missed. If it's a small concentration of iron beside the hole you're digging, dig it all a foot down to detect, and swing over the loose dirt as well. You'll probably get at least as many targets as you have in this post, and some your detector had no chance at seeing.

Congrats on some nice colonial finds ! I can only imagine what that site gave up in the past (and maybe in the future) ?

You finding relics that large at your site, really makes it sound like virgin territory. Go back, camp there if needed, and post more crazy stuff!
