Little Teeny Silver.....

[civilman1]

I had the chance to hunt with my buddy TyMcmurray today at a 1700's house we hit last year.We hunted across the road in a field where Ty pulled 4 nice copper's.....none today though!!The house itself has produced some amazing find's.3rd hit of the day was this tiny silver cufflink,seem's the only thing found was button's and some misc. relic's.The one button pic'd I think is pewter...along with a Tombac and flatty's.Bonus 3-ringer was a welcome site.Hunted for about 4 hr.'s and had to leave.......it'll be there later Thank's for looking!!

Nice 1700s finds! Think that pewter object is the handle off a pewter Stein?

I think you're right Buckle's,the piece is split exposing the pewter "inard's".At first I thought it might be a drawer pull since it has a bit of gold gilt on it.....sound right?Might be still?

I don't see much in the way of pewter drawer pulls in the material culture of the early 1800s or late 1700s...but I do see lots of brass ones.

I'd bet that's a handle off a mug, stein, or similar item. Cool find!

The cuff link is a great little gem.
