Sweet Shoe Buckle and Draped Bust Large Cent *Cleaned Copper Pics*

[Sniffy]

Got out of work a bit early today, so I went the long way home... I stopped by a new cellar hole I recently received permission to hunt. I haven't spent much time here at all and there is still alot of area to check. Today was cool...I focused all my attention in the back yard section of the cellar hole....Here are my finds. The shoe buckle is probably the most ornate I have found (and just about complete) The Draped Bust looks to be in awesome shape...I don't think I'll clean it. And the normal plethora of buttons...a ball button was a pleasant suprise...Alot of targets....One thing I forgot to drag in the house was a neat little colonial door knob...solid brass rang out loudly. Thanks for lookin!

The penny and the buckle are great. Looks like you found a solid spot to hunt. Hope there's more there to dig.

Great finds. One day I am going to find one of those draped busts. Keep up the good work!

Draped Bust looks to have 06 as the last 2 numbers, so maybe an 1806? Or 1806/7? If you add a close-up of the date, may be able to confirm or deny that guess. SWEET buckle, and some of those buttons looks interesting, too.

A great site you've got there.
I'd have to clean that LC up a bit. It doesn't look like it is going to flake or anything.

Nice buckle, very complete indeed.
