Shoe Buckle, Buttons, KGs and a mystery Lead Object

Ahab8 · Oct 17, 2015

Just finished 24 straight 10 hour days of work. It felt pretty darned good to come home and take a break. Got out for a couple of short hunts. Continued digging super deep crappy signals at pounded sites. The shoe buckle was 14-16" deep. The patina was terrible si I decided to buff it out and return it to its bright brass beginnings. I still have some work to do but it's coming along. I normally wouldn't do this but seeing this is number 16 or 17 I decided to give it a shot this once.
I also found a couple of KGiis and a nice designed tombac. The find I'm really curious about is the small designed lead object. It has the cross with 4 designed sections kind of like a cob would have. It's made out of lead and looks like it was shot. I hope somebody knows cause this one has me stumped. Thanks guys and I apologize for the great posts that I've missed and haven't replied to. Just been too busy.

WTG man...love the buckle and copper. The basket weave button reminds me of some we dug consistently where I grew up!

Sometimes you will be amazed when you dig those deep iffy signals. It sure paid off for you. :thumbsup:

Thanks all my long lost Tnet buddies. Felt great to get a hunt in. Next hunt will be November 9 which is the anniversary of finding my Mass silver and cob. Hoping to get to the spoon site and find Mass silver #2. I know it's there somewhere. Tried to research the lead token/seal and came up with nothing. I appreciate all of the input guys.
