Last couple of hunts

[Bill D. (VA)]

Got an invite from my friend Tom to hit at an out-of-town colonial site on Tues (thanks Tom!), and also hit a local site with my partner Reid yesterday. Nothing earth-shattering, but did make a few finds. My favorites are the buckle and very early button shown in the close-up. Will try to make it back to the hammered silver site early this week, and will hopefully will have something good to post. HH to all ..... Bill

That's a cool button Bill. Would that be considered a "nipple" button?

This was a solid Colonial post, Bill. The find of the day was the 17th century button.

Keep the passion high!

Do you know what the piece of metal is that has "Patent" written on it? I found a small piece of brass just like it at a 1800s home site here in central Va. Thanks in advance.
