FROZEN CELLAR HOLES *COPPERS & SILVER!

we got into the trails at daybreak.stayed till dark.we found a few new cellar holes.a couple were tough digging but some were manageable.
sniffy struck first copper with a no date classic head half cent.he got a decent looking shoe buckle.he got a 189? ih .
i dug a 1892 barber dime at one site.a shield shaped buckle? any ideas anyone? also a pewter shield shaped thingy that definitely was mounted to something.
a piece of sterling silver knife handle.the broken watch fob says William.L Marcy under his portrait.a ornate key hole plate & a bridle rosette
i went the whole day saying to myself not gonna get a copper today
10 mins before we were ready to call it a day ..BINGO got one.a 1845 coronet head large cent.

Nothing wrong with those finds. Nope, nothing at all. Keep us posted, what other stuff comes up out of the ground.

Some cool stuff.
I've dug shield shape buckles like yours in civil war camps. As far as I know they went on horse harnesses. The small shield shaped piece was probably a harness decoration.

My cousin is back so I won't be metal detecting for a long time. William is 13 but has problems with being alone. He hates metal detecting because he says its boring. Maybe I should camp out at the cemetery so he would be too scared to stay plus I could metal detect all night. Can't wait for that kid to grow up. Still makes stupid sound to piss me off!

I've always hoped to find silver around a cellar hole, but I never do. My hunting partner has done good not so many silver but lots of large cents.

Nice Job !!

Keep @ it and HH !!
