Does this count as a Colonial find?

[ModernMiner]

O.K. Folks,
It's been way too hot for me to get out to detect here in NC. I tried the plantation house yard yesterday for about an hour after work and came up with a no date Buff before being soak & attacked by mosquitoes.
I actually did better today at the flea market and found this little Colonial guy for $1.00.
Note the Colonial shoe buckles too.
O.K., feel free to gong me off the stage now.
99 & 101 degrees the next few days.
Come on fall!!!
-MM-
P.S.
Kyle, I thought this Colonial guy would make a great avatar for you.

WTG, not quite a colonial find, but it will be to someone else in about 300 years I did notice a lithograph of Staten Island in the background, what year and town is that from. SI is only 1 1/2 hours from me and I'd like to see how that area looks today. BTW you should ask the manager of the flea market for permission to hunt the grounds, I have had some interesting finds including silver. That and I have made friends with many of the regular vendors that tell me where the most action for the day was.

That would look pretty cool in a display case in the center of your colonial finds,THeres a use for every thing.

Good eye Spartacus.
That is a Currier & Ives print of Staten Island dated 1861.
As far as the flea market, it's all asphalt.

Even the eyes open & close on this one as you tilt it. Kind of creepy really.
I couldn't pass it up though.
Thanks Cru.

NOPE

Ha,ha,ha.
VOL,
You just gave me a great laugh. I burst out laughing & my wife thought I had finally lost it.
I'm just killing time until it cools down.
I'll be hitting my old properties hard this fall. Hopefully you can join me.
