Coppers and mid 1700s gun parts

[RelicMedic]

Spent the morning at a 1700s site where I dug the rev war navy coat button a few days ago. Let's just say I'm not disappointed with the results. Managed to get some coppers again today. 1815 Halifax half penny token, KG III, Indian head penny, 1859 Canadian penny, draped bust, and a slick copper. Dug some buttons as well. Another Rev War anchor and chain navy button, slick pewter and a couple of tombacs. It was a pleasant surprise to get the coil over a cool ramrod guide. I was just thinking at that moment, that someone must have threw out a collection of guns because at that point, I found a trigger guard, small barrel band and the guide. Walked a few feet and dug a mid 1700s British flintlock pistol butt plate! I'll have to revisit that area and see if there are more gun parts to find. Thanks for looking!
