Some nice colonial finds

DetectorMoe · Jan 20, 2020

Well, went digging over the weekend.. And some days in the week before.

Everything I dug.

Copper coin with no detail , thinking largie.

Old hinge with wood still attached.

Piece of brass or lead with writing.

Maybe bale seal?

Part of shoe buckle.

Big round flat lead. About the size of a half dollar.

Piece of brass that fell apart with decorative and flat buttons.

WW2 era button or newer.

Thanks for looking.

Those are some nice finds, that looks like a productive spot! The thing that you said could be a bale seal looks to me like it could be a weight for a fishing net. :icon_thumright:

Nice finds! I wonder what the flat lead is. I was hunting near a colonial cellar site last week and found a flat, round piece of lead that was very similar. If they’re turning up in multiples maybe they had some purpose :icon_scratch:

Nice variety of finds. I bet that spot has more good things to come. Good luck!

Interesting stuff it looks like you had a lot of close calls on round copper like objects... great hunt though there has to be more there with that kind of stuff! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
