Day 2 at New Site: 18th Century Jew's Harp + Buttons

KKC got out yesterday to the cornfield that we hit last week. The farmer had cut more of the crop, so we could get in some new areas of the field. I didn't get any coins, but I did get my first complete 18th century Jew's harp. It is made of brass. This relic is another indicator as to when this site was settled. There has been some debate, but due to the artifacts dug over the past two trips, we can officially date the site to the 18th century (1780s-1790s).

I also got a nicely designed Colonial button in the heart of the iron patch. I ended the day with six buttons, pewter spoon piece, and the Jew's harp. It was an enjoyable evening spent with my brother and uncle. We will re-load next week with a new site.

The last two pictures are my totals from the site in two detecting trips.

Keep the passion high!

Congrats on your first Jews Harp. Those are some of the best looking buttons that we found all year. A great relic kind of day for you. Can't beat that with a stick.

Passions are high indeed when I see your posts. We're like two peas in a pod when it comes to what we like to dig. Great finds as usual!

Kirk, I would take the Jews Harp or that killer button over most any copper that might turn up on a site like that. You had a great day. Should be good hunting there next sppring after the plowing.

When I dug it, I got just as excited. I always wanted to excavate one. I don't know if the farmer practices no-till, so I guess we will Colonially see in the spring.

Pray for deep till brother! LOL
Here's an Idea, Catch the tender and throw him 50 bucks to "scratch that spot a little heavy" LOL~!
I take my tenders some 4-h shirts and a few bucks to rake deep for me.

Pretty awsome, totally intact Jews Harp Not a common find and one that I would display proudly.
There has got to be a shoe buckle in the dirt there some where.
