Just A Day!

Yea I started not to post but figured it would give some of you a good laugh! Anyway gave it a try and got my 4th harp,buttons with some back marks that I have not seen,couple musket balls,buckles,and the rest I think is even worst junk then this. But what can I say I tried anyway.Maybe next time.

Dude, there ain't nothing wrong with a musket lockplate! You might get a surprising result with electrolysis. It's not my cup of tea, but many like those things.

The shank button you have in your hand that has an imprinted circle on the bottom with 3 stars.....and some lettering.....I found one here in Florida ...can you make out what the letters are on this button and do you have any idea of it's origin. Mine appears to be a little smaller but has same design.


Thanks
Phillip

Buddy it says london on it and is a little different then the norm I see.Also this place it came from is where the 16th century spoon mold came from and the two Rev. War buttons.

Patch I'm not to fond of Iron either but when I dug it I thought about the Rev War buttons so I kept it And is already down stairs getting a little shocka'con. Do you think it could be rev. war related?

Nice take on the relics

Maybe same era but don't think you can take it much further than that.

Thanks Buddy we'll see what it looks like after a little converted 120 volts on it!

Pete, that Jew's harp is sweet. I dug one just like it last week. You're due for another cut silver, Pete the Colonial Man!

[romeo-1]

Yep...nothing wrong with a lock plate! Still looking for one myself!

 

[johnnyi]

You did well with all those buttons, a jew's harp and a lock plate. It's all history. If you want a good laugh, you should see what I dug up today!

Hey guy's I don't normally post iron things cause let's face it they aren't that pretty. But this was another piece I'd brought back with me this day.And was just messing with it a little now that it has dried up some tring to get the rust off.I got to noticing the shape and was wondering if you think it could be a part of a bayonet.Just was wondering about it.Might zap it a little to now.

 

[umrgolf]

nice digs these things you pull out of the ground look very familiar ... now we just need to get out of this coin rut

 

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

Every relic hound on this site would love to have a day just like this. Great Job.

Thats a great pile o finds there
Nothing wrong with diggin iron at all

 

[ironhorse]

ya did good kid!!!

there's nothing wrong with finds like that, even though you didn't hit a coin or marked button, you still made out alright!

next time you'll come alive again!

 

[hikeinmts]

I COULDN'T DIG TODAY.....too snowy. So, you beat me, hands down.
Great bunch of historical finds. I'll not laugh, because I have an idea about
how much work you went to to get that history out of the ground, and that's only
the first part of the process. Way to go!!!!!
