Little more Colonial From The River!

[timekiller]

First off I would like to Thank The Ones Who Pulled On My Strings to Get Me Back On Here.And it is nice to know that,Good Friends Are Hard To Come by In This World And is something I Take Very Serious and even though we may never met each other, than on here.There are ways to know when people respect people and respect is a major part of friendship anyway in my book.I answered no ones PM's and you all know who you are.Nothing against no one I was thinking of what road to take so was a cool off period of sorts for me.

Anyway I got out today to a place on the river that I've been keeping my eyes on that is washing out little by little from the bank.The items are dating and the signs are there for some real good keepers in the future.Just going to take some time for nature to work her magic.Anyway as all ways for me it was good just to get out and enjoy life.The big steel object not sure what it is.It was in the ground at this site so thought I'd bring it home and give it a second look.There is also a pewter button that looks to have a 1 on it I'll have to look and see if any Rev. War buttons look like the faint 1 I'm thinking I might see but I won't call it as it could just be how it looks.And I've not looked for one yet.I wish the buckle had not been broke it would had been nice (to me).Anyway it's not much but was fun.

Hi Timekiller, nice finds. I think Cru and SS etc are right about 7th and 8th pictures being leather mounts, but my romantic side would like HCW to be right about them being parts of gun trim. Whatever the case good to see you mate .

Pete the Colonial Man,

It is good to see you back at the Colonial animal. Congrats on those beautiful Colonial buckles. I must get me some of them this year.

Keep the passion high!

You have been making some outstanding finds! Congratulations. I wonder what accounts for all of the finds you have made along the waterfront. Did people camp there at one time and the water rise covered the area? Were these permanent settlements or just campsites? I am just curious, thanks, Bryan in Goldsboro

Bryan Buddy,I'm not sure.I've read though that there was some major hurricanes or at least one that is talked about here that happened in the late 1600's.And would almost guarrantee that at some of these places I hunt knowing what the water level is now that these places would had been in big trouble back then.Cause today they will go under in just a good strong NE'ter.But these sites like this that I have found are few and far between for here and someday I'll be out of places like this I've found to look.The good part is that I'm able to get these few items before they are lost for ever to the rivers and such here.So that it can be known that sites this early were here at one time.As you may know Beaufort was settled in the early 1700's but nowhere there much to look as it is all rapped up being a historical town and all.But these sites are probably some of the first places that were settled back then before they became a town in beaufort.As water ways was all they had for major travel.And was my reason for choosing them to look.Also not so many fields here to look in either and none that I know would be giving up such old finds.

Thanks friend. It is just so darned interesting what you are finding. It is very interesting to imagine what happened so long ago, right where you are searching! You are bringing their activity back to life. Keep up the great finds, I sure enjoy seeing them. Bryan in Goldsboro

Great looking escutcheon pieces you got, among other fine digs.

Thanks All for your comments!
Found one kinda along the line so might be French??


Several French trade gun parts, including this escutcheons, provide clues to this being a French trader's house.

Sure thing buddy,I have taken some pics. before.But next time I go if weather allows I take the camera.This is a new one though cause I've gone through two already taking them with me.They don't hold up around the water and my beating and slaming Also I splurdged a little on this one and need it to last awhile so if things look good for it next time I'll will.But no large area shots as some might put two and two together. Never know who is lurking around on here!
