Shoe buckle kind of day

[Greylock]

2 hours hiking and 3 hours of detecting. I don't get to this place too much but when I do it usually produces some nice finds. Today's haul was a few shoe buckle frames and a nice little knee buckle. One of the broken shoe buckle frames is marked HM. I wish it was all together. 1804 half cent and a toasted KGll. A few buttons and a mystery piece. Also grabbed a few beat up pewter spoons. Anyone know what the mystery brass piece with the loops and spike is? If anything cleans up better ill repost photos. Happy hunting.

Wow looks like that site is worth the hike! Some beautiful frames and the half cents don't show up too often. Still looking for my first

I thought spur too but it is really small and that made me question it. Very cool thanks Casper

Awesome pile of colonial goodies!! Some great buckles and coins, and I love those rat tail spoon bowls. That's quite a site you have there. And BTW, that piece is from an early spur.

Ya it's not the time it takes to hike its the effort that stops me. This is the second or third half cent from this site. ID have to check records. Also found a nice silver spoon from here last year.

Thanks Bill. Possibly from a child or are they usually that small?

Ok thanks. Maybe ill try to get up there once more before the snow comes. Would be nice to find the other half.

Here's a couple I've dug for comparison. Sorry for the poor phone pics but my PC is in the shop.

Holly Molly, you got up some awesome colonial pieces. I really like those buckles and spoons. I would call that a stellar hunt for sure, congrats.

That DB seems in pretty decent shape to me! I'm clueless, but spur is the first thing I thought when I saw your find. I'd say 7 hours well spent ( I'm assuming you meant a hike of 2 hours each way ).

Thanks for the comments everyone. This has been a great area for detecting and has produced some of my best finds. Although its strenuous to get to and I burn myself out on the hike its worth it almost every time. Hope to have more to show in a few days. Happy hunting
