My plan for the morning was to hit the site where I found the cut Spanish Silver on Friday. Unfortunately a large bull had other ideas so I decided to kill some time at the bottle dump near by until the cows and bull left the area. Nothing special in the bottle department but the brown Bovril bottle is neat. In the dump I also found what I think is a very old pencil. I'm not even sure what it is made out of but it is not wood, bone maybe??
By the time the livestock moved on I only had an hour left to hunt. I started where I found the Spanish and the first target was the shoe buckle...good sign. A few buttons later I had spent my allotted holiday digging time and had to head home. Finished with a French sized musketball, buttons, shoe buckle, gas fitting (i think) and some doodads. The problem with this site is there is an old site here but there are also a couple turn of the century sites very near by, not to mention it has been pasture for the past 60 years so you can find just about anything there! Still, lots of fun and a lot more hunting to do on this site.

The 2 time period sites are always a chore. Picking through the newer to get to the older is sometimes tedious. Looks like you have some winners. The Shoebuckle always is a welcome find . The blowhole button is also pretty awesome. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Kyle found one earlier in the year.
