The bulldozers are in one of my old "dug out" sites.
They have scrapped down 2+ feet in some areas.I dug these relics from the dozer push tracks.
These relics are just another example of what we leave deep underground.
I have detected at this site many times and have also taken other diggers there.
The job foreman gave me permission to dig anytime the machines are shut down. :icon_thumleft:
The fancy button is coin silver and has it's shank.
The six-pointed star is hand cut copper and was most likely used on furniture or a box.
I can read the inscription on the broken sweetheart bracelet,but not sure of the lettering and numbers on the back,perhaps an anniversary?

Keep Digging..
B.H.

I recognized the piece of pottery , is called " Ceramica de Manises "... knew that this place keeps good surprises, the good company of ceramic Spanish coins of 17th and 18th centuries.
