Colonial House Finds...

[bergie]

Earthworks and I were up at first light this morning to hit a new colonial site. We only had about 2.5 hours. I got this 1887 really nice Indian -- until I decapitated it, ouch, my bad. Then got this nice looks like colonial era buckle,,,it's curved (convex) so could be a shoe buckle. About the length of a thumb. Any ideas? Lots of ground yet to cover on this new site. Earthworks had a nice find too, he will be posting. Bergie.

Nice coin..was curious do you use a pin pointer after you dig your holes? Also, would be curious to see some pictures of the site where you dug.

nice finds! too bad about that gouge though, ouch! i hate to admit it but i do it sometimes too. that buckle is kinda cool as well. i guess it could be a knee buckle as well. how did earthworks do?

Looks like white eyes tried to lynch your Indian! Good start, keep posting. I have a feeling you're going to do well at that site. Wish there were some really old sites in my neck-o-tha' woods. Monty

Eww..Bergie, that makes my head hurt.
All kidding aside, I would love to find one of those! WTG!

Wow: This Indian is in pretty good shape. Didn't really look at it that close. Good job.

Too bad about the scratch. I do it on occasion as well. That buckle is interesting! HH, Mike

A nice IH with a scratch is better than none. Most of mine don't look as nice as yours.
