One last Hunt at the Colonial Needle in a haystack......

johnnyblaze · Mar 19, 2013

Hiked back out to a Colonial cellar hole me and my buddy found after we got lost way,way out in the woods :icon_thumright:

This is a very early poor site that appears to have never even made it into the 1800's :icon_scratch:

Judging by the size of the cellar and the walled in areas it was a pretty big place..

Grabbed a pewter button :headbang:

And the only chape i found at the whole site..

I guess what appears to be a Rev War era sword belt hanger...

My first hanger ever :headbang:

..It must be military issue i dont think they just wore swords around the home :icon_scratch:

I could be wrong :dontknow:

And the usual flat buttons..
An iron spoon :unhappysmiley:

Just about time to retire this site..

I am posting the total finds i grabbed a few nice thing and a relic with the name J Brooks so i call it the Brooks cellar..

Have fun out there the best digging days are close :hello:

Cool finds JB!! Glad you got out Bud. That looks like a CW knapsack commomnly called a "J" hook unless it's bigger than that. Have fun out there, Q.

Could be a knapsack hanger Quindy :hello:

Nothing on this site was from the 1800's...

Nice little spot there Blaze! Cool pewter button, too bad it didn't have some regimental numbers on it :tongue3:

Everything looks 18th century. But I agree with Quindy that one piece is a Civil War pack hook (J-hook)

Very nice hunt Johnny - Looks like a real cool place to hunt

Valley Ranger · Mar 20, 2013

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a knapsack hook JB, not a hanger. Still a great find!

Quindy those are quite controversial pieces...

I read in American Digger one time that they were used on horse saddles to hook long Colonial coats or "Cloaks" on..

Steve in Pa pointed me in that direction :icon_thumleft:
