Copper #50, buttons, thimble, Buckle

Rick (Nova Scotia) · Sep 29, 2011

Not much to look at here either, but the copper is significant in that it makes number 50 for the year, way ahead of last year, and 2 months to go.

I only headed out after 4 PM to a site I got 3 coppers at before, couple of broken pewter spoons, I am now sure there was a dewelling on this property. Might be a Silver there yet.

It was almost dark (abt. 7:20) when I got the copper, caught it comming out on VID.

That broken buckle looks like military sling buckle from the Rev War or War of 1812 period.

The Buckle halves did come from separate holes, some distance apart. Pretty jumpy signal too while in the ground.
