Got out for an hour to a new site

[_muppet_]

Yesterday I got out for an hour to a little sawmill spot. Not a huge haul, but I was surprised how many solid targets there were here. This is an easliy accessible spot on public land that is open to detecting. I will definitely be back. The pennies are both wheats. One is 1916 or 1918, the other I couldn't make out. I was surprised to see wheat pennies at all here as this spot was mostly used in the mid to late 1800's, but it must have run longer than a couple of the other close by sawmill sites. Anyone recognize the suspender clip? I suspect it's civilian, but the eagle is neat. It says 1776 on the left and 1876 on the right.

Yeah, looks like FH. Unfortunately I don't know of any records of who may have worked here.
