This weeks slim pickin's
Officially, the woods are evil! (not really)
Fully grown with Kudzu* and poison oak, and ivy and snakes and spiders
But I still temp fate by venturing in.
I manage to get lucky once in a while, finding a rare dirty button or scarce fertilized coin, but the full satisfaction is just getting out where our forefathers of the 1700's pillaged and scampered about.
This weeks finds include a bunch of Native American point shards, some 1800's civilian buttons, old lock, a really modest old coin that doesn't want to tell it's age or show it's face, a tiny, heavily gilted buckle, a pewter handle with the partial mark of "Lyn &co".... Anyone?
A copper "diamond shaped" .....? what is it?
And my favorites, old nails.
*Kudzu is a plant in the genus Pueraria in the pea family Fabaceae, It is a climbing, coiling, and trailing vine native to southern Japan and southeast China. Its name comes from the Japanese name for the plant, Kuzu.
Kudzu is sometimes called gé gēn[1] (Chinese: 葛根), and (due to its out-of-control growth in the Southeastern United States) has earned such nicknames as the "foot-a-night vine", "mile-a-minute vine", and "the vine that ate the South" (of the United States).
In Vietnam, it is called sắn dây.
