Three Sites Over Three Days!

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Well, the finds weren’t spectacular, but they were interesting! Let me preface this post by saying… these are all sites I’ve hit in the past and this was my final attempt to ‘hoover’ up anything non-ferrous prior to the planting. My first site hunt was on Saturday morning. This is a site that archeologists dug last summer, I started detecting it as soon as the ground thawed in April. This site produced the mate to a suspender buckle that I found in April. I posted a pic of the 'restored' buckle next to the 'un-restored' example. I also found what I think might be a very decorative gold-plated match holder and a ‘quarter size’ concave, tombac disc. I'm not sure what this disc is, as there’s no sign of an attachment on the back?

The second site I hit on Sunday morning. This is a site I first detected in 2015 and has produced lots of pre-1900 coins and even a ladies gold wedding band dated c1815. All I found here on Sunday was the aluminum ‘Greek Key’ thimble.

My third site I hit yesterday morning; it produced a couple of cool ‘eyeball finds’ but not much else. I found the 1930 'Buffalo Nickel', a cut glass cruet stopper, the ceramic base to a figurine and the 'Dunlop' Badge here.

Thanks very much for looking!

Thanks for your post Inspector.
I drove by there earlier this week to find the field has now been planted with corn, so anymore detecting here will have to wait until fall.

I would build a log cabin on that site and pull a museum out of those. Well done my Friend

Interesting idea Tommy.
Unfortunately, this site is scheduled for new home construction in 2020, hence the archeological excavations.
