Todays Church Digs....: 1806 Draped 1/2 Cent, Tombacs, Old Knife....

Today's Church Digs....: 1806 Draped 1/2 Cent, Tombacs, Old Knife....

I have been pounding the heck outta' this site for quite a while. This site has a lot of history dating back to a pre Colonial log cabin church. The log cabin church burned and then a new one was built. The church is very old and still active. The site was also a stop along "The Walking Purchase". Walking Purchase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The stuff.....: I'm not sure how old the knife is, but it looks old, hahah!! Any suggestions as to a possible age? It appears to have a bunch of etchings.

That knife is as old as your other finds in my opinion. I have found similar ones at an early site here in Tennessee (1785-1794) The handles are made of bone and they are called English butter knifes. Love the large cent too. Tennessee digger
