New Colonial cellar day 2 yields my best buckle ever

[johnnyblaze]

Went back to my new cellar and out came all the Colonial stuff

After digging over 70 shotgun shells between the 2 days its finally producing Colonial relics but no coins from the colonial days

I must say i got the sickest colonial shoe buckle i have ever found
It has so much decor on it..Im gonna have to clean this one good
It was only 3 inches deep or so.
Pulled a couple of chapes also.
More key hardware

The farm fields are really clear with hardly no brush but near the cellar is kind of overgrown..

I pulled another largie from the same area i got 5 from

Stayed away from that bee nest

This winter when it clears out i most def will pound it really hard

Got another crotal bell and a few buttons..I dont know if the buttons have any decor on them yet.
The dandy buttons have not surfaced but they will..

cant tell how big it is but maybe a wick adjuster for a lamp

That is really a nice buckle. I often wonder if the whole shoe was tossed when you find buckles like that. Shoe rots away and there's only the buckle left. I bet once you clear the misc finds out you'll find some good coinage there as well.
Do you think the last piece might be to a clock?

 

[Deno]

That is one nice buckle.

Nice bunch of Colonial finds.

Spots like that are getting harder and harder to find.

Great job cleaning that buckle
I've found a few of those sharptoothed pieces, got one the other day.
several points differ from lampwick adjuster,
Overall and hole diameter too large, sharp angled teeth.
I believe it's an early piece of clockwork, 'Anchor type Escapement wheel' dating with your other finds.

Now that i look at it.
Its about the size of a half dollar and maybe to large for a wick adjuster..
Your example is an exact match..
Interesting

Cool,
half dollar size probably from clock movement, looks like the dug anchor shown might match it for size. (shown with US Cent)
Below from Wiki:
Invented around 1660 by Robert Hooke, the anchor mechanism quickly superseded the verge to become the standard escapement used in pendulum clocks through the 19th century. Its advantage was that it reduced the wide pendulum swing angles of the verge to 3°-6°, making the pendulum isochronous, and allowing the use of longer, slower moving pendulums, which used less energy. It is responsible for the long narrow shape of most pendulum clocks, particularly grandfather clocks.

It consists of an escape wheel with pointed, backward slanted teeth, and an 'anchor' shaped piece pivoted above it which rocks from side to side, attached to the pendulum. The anchor has slanted pallets on the arms which alternately catch on the teeth of the escape wheel, receiving impulses.
