Got a couple good ones yesterday- Baby US buckle & carved acorn

It's not quite 5AM here and I'm up early ready to get out again this morning Yesterday I met up with Mr. Croft, a local high school coach. We arrived at a new spot around 2PM, close to one I was hitting last fall. We ended up staying til around 6 and both made some nice finds.





Nice button in the plug








"Baby" US belt buckle, 1839 issue








portions of a silvered pewter spoon





field-poured bullet




All of yesterday's finds





Thanks to tomjiggy for pointing out the carved acorn in the lower right corner of this picture.. I wasn't quite sure what it was yesterday being so small










I've read that buckles this size are 1839 issue, can someone verify this please

"Couple of good ones today"......I'd say!!

I would trade my best detecting day to find a carved acorn. A soldier spent his precious down time carving that just to get his mind off the war. There's nothing more intimate than that!
