Deceased COPPER and RABID BATWING BUCKLE!

[Sniffy]

So I put on my costume today and headed into the woods to do some trick or treating. My first 3 sites were complete duds, no bodies home and no candy for my bag. BUt finnaly I found a little hole in the woods off the beaten path that didn't appear pounded to mince meat....I spent 2 hours and came up with a SHOT copper, a Batwing buckle, and a nice big fat colonial flat button. The copper appears to be a counterfeit King George, only thing left on it is a G and and a slight raise on the forehead and nose (facing left) Could be another CT to....I don't know. I try not to think about it too much, it kills me not knowing what it was. Thanks for lookin and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I don't know how folks can call these Batwings 1830s or later finds when they are so frequently dug with colonial era coppers and buttons--but all I know is that I'd love to find one of those buckles!

Nice job!

Every Batwing buckle I've found came from 18th century sites. Buck, I"m sure you'll score one in your travels.
