Through my countless hours of winter research I was able to approximate a mid 1650s meeting house location. As many of you know exact locations are tough but a little common sense usually gets you close. I fought the rain most of the day but was able to find a few items. I found two coins that had been shot but I don't believe them to be old. Strangely they were a long ways apart. image.webp
I found a few buckles but have no idea as to the age of them. This site had mid 1600s activity as well as early 1700s continuing into the 1800s settlement. One of them is huge(could be Paul Bunyans). image.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webp
I found a small flat button that I believe to be pewter but am not sure. I wish one of these objects was very early so I could narrow down my search but am thinking none of these is very year specific.image.webpimage.webp
I found the key and the tootsie toy truck at a local park that I went with my mom. She had a lot of fun. The skull ring is AQUAS wedding band and I will be returning it to him. Very excited about that :tongue3:image.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webp

Nice digs Ahab8:headbang:

That is about as early as it gets...

The Indians burned down 90% of the homes around here in the 1675-76 Pequot War..

Good luck..

Blaze your dead on with that! This place lasted about 20 years and a 1630s site I'm trying to get on lasted 40 years which is unheard of for that time period. Most lasted. 2-5 years and were burned or abandoned
 
Sounds like great history. Abe, I'm sure you'll get rewarded for your efforts eventually. Thanks for the interesting post. HH- Chuck
