Silver, cherry IHPs, buttons, and whatsits from a very old homestead

[Murray8144]

Had to travel out to Pennsylvania for work today. The landowner allowed me to detect around his house, which was built in the early 1700s. Only had about an hour, but I managed to pull two IHPs in very good condition, a rosie, and a flat button



Now for the whatsits...this first one rang up like a nickel. was flattened when I pulled it but i managed to unbend it a little.



This also rang up as a nickel. It's the size of a quarter. have no clue...in the 1st pic it almost looks like a guy standing there.

Nice finds Murray. Those Indians are in great shape.

nice finds. Looks like your "whatzit" might be a mangled ornate frame. Looks a little lightweight to be a buckle frame.

It's definitely lightweight. Was very easy to bend. Ornate frame sounds like a reasonable guess

Nice finds you made in a short time! You should return if you can!!

Nice finds. I think those last whatsits are buttons with the shank crammed in on one, and the other one is missing it. Those can ring up like nickels.

That frame looks like a buckle frame but doesn't look like its thick enough as others have said. Instead it's probably a decorative buckle.

Congratz on those IHPs and Rosie! The only IHP that I've dug with the ETRAC rang in at 13-33. Do you remember the numbers on those?

That's about right. 12-33 to 12-35
