Heel Plate, Relics, and Braided Hair LC

[SultansOfSwing]

Went to a 1790 house permission today for about an hour and a half. Didnt find much the first time I went but I was certain there were some items to be found. There is a massive foundation for the carriage house but it is so loaded with iron i cant hear much. Theres a couple wells on the property and the house has a lot of history including being a brothel at one point and the ambassador of china's home at another point. Also has a clay tennis court from the 1930s that is covered with grass at the moment.

Dug these relics including my first heel plate and the 1846 Braided LC that I personalized with my digging too

Those are some great finds and it sounds like a great spot to hunt. Should be lots of great stuff there.
Good luck!

The heel plate and large cent are nice, but I really like the complete knee buckle!

Well you've got one now. Congrats! BTW the heel plate with the cross is a less common design than the clover or the heart.

Not sure which piece your referring to as a ccr but there are 2 brass buckles with iron tongues on the left.

I couldnt find any examples of the cross style so im inclined to agree with your comment. The heel plate and knee buckle are both firsts for me.
