Everything from the new Cellar Hole Lieutenant Colonel Insignia

MonkeyBoy · Apr 15, 2009

Here is a groupshot of everything from the new cellar hole I have been digging. Picked up a few more pewter buttons today, another round ball still in the wood and a Lieutenant Colonel insignia

It is much later then the rest of the items I have been finding... I'm up to about 28 or 30 buttons now but still just the one coin, a 1809 half cent.

Enjoy..

Modern LtCol. insignia?? Looks like it. Nice finds on all of the butons. That old copper is a good find to. Maybe you will break into the 1700's soon. :icon_sunny:

Yeah... that one threw me!! I thought I had a nice silver coin

? It was higher up the ridge then the rest of the stuff I found butI did get another pewter button a bot 6 feet from it... which is why I kept going up... guess it was some one hiking.. in uniform.. years later

No clue... but hey it's silver.. I'll take it!!!

I'd keep going back. with that much found already, it had to have been a popular place in the past
