I hit the 1830's CW property on the way home. I'm dying to find a readable date LC now, since my last one was a POS. I got fooled not once, not twice, but three times thinking I had dug another coin. :'(
I got fooled by the two large buttons, and then I thought for sure I had an old coin, but it turned out to be a round flattened piece of lead. Who would play such a sick trick? ;D
I hit the woods too and found some rusty relics and a silver plated pin with a man in cart behind a horse.
Nothing spectacular, but the buttons were a nice find.
Here's my finds:
*A 21mm flat button with a "Warranted Treble Gilt" back mark.
Any idea on the age of this one?

*A 27 mm flat button with nice shank, no back mark. Would this size possibly be Colonial?

*A 27 mm flat button , no shank, no back mark. Maybe pewter?

*Asst'd lead pieces. The one piece looks like a carved triangle. Even the top (wide area) was shaped into a sharp "V".

*Silver plated pin with tiny fake jewels.

*Asst'd rusty relics.

*Asst'd other relics- thimble, razor handle, etc.

Can anyone ID the piece pictured next to the pin? (7th picture down)
I'm pretty sure it is brass.

Have a great w/end, and thanks for looking,
MM

Miner, It looks like you're hitting the right spot. You're finding all the right relics for a large cent or two. :)

I've found a maybe 4 toe plates and still get excited about finding them. I have some that looked like they were used and reused several times by the amount of tack holes in them. A few of mine have a patent date on the inside of them...so you might look at yours and see if you can find one. 8)

I hope you're wearing your longer dresses for when you hunt...........Don't want anyone to see your bloomers! ;) :D

LMAO! ;D Hilarious.
I was thinking of shooting a MD vid of me hunting in a dress. What do you think? :o ;D
Thanks for the info on the toe plate. I had no idea what it was untill you & BB told me.
I'm always surprised what I'm digging up next at that 1830's house. It's been a blast. You know the funny thing is, I have not dug one wheat penny there yet. IH's yes, but not a wheat. Weird.
Thanks,
Doug
P.S. What state are you in? Besides the state of confusion I mean. ;)

Don't get in any hurry to dig a wheat. :) You've got a great spot there.
