Had a great weekend hunt at 300 acre colonial farm with lots of history in Central Virginia). Popped around different fields and got into 2 hot spots and no modern trash which was an added bonus. Found mostly colonial period relics(shoe buckle horse adornments other period buckles, coins trigger guard ) , nice sandy soil so most of relics in nice shape. The silvers are beautiful(love the capped bust) . Only date I can read on the coppers is 1810. The horse rossette might actually be silver as it’s super heavy but perhaps just nice plating. I think the other silver item is a cuff link . Normally not into jewelry but love the 1920s blue swallow bird brooch and Claddagh ring. These are the days that get the blood flowing.
