Hey guys,
Linked up with DnD for a short afternoon hunt after work at his colonial turned British camp. This site is covered in thousands of rose head nails, so there are no "clean" signals to dig. Every potential target is a slight whisper on the CTX or chirp on the Deus among the iron and then its just a matter of getting lucky. While DnD has certainly done a solid job of saving relics through a combination of sifting and swinging, there are a few more surprises left in that dirt. Today my weapon of choice was the CTX, sorry Vino I'll learn that Deus eventually. My favorite dig today was also the 5th 18th century rosette from the site. Love that olive green patina that you just don't get with salt water recoveries.
Also heavily masked by iron was this period buckle.
The big mystery is this lead alloy item, approximately 3.5 inches in length. ID help is greatly appreciated.
Among the other finds were a large section of lead, pipe stem, and pottery fragments. As always thanks for looking!
