WET CELLAR HOLE HUNT WITH SNIFFY*BAT WING BUCKLE

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Jesse had no work due to the rain and i hadda twist his arm to go play in the water.and that's exactly what we did!
hit one site near a road and i got a large tombac alot of newer trash there and we may return but we were anxious to get up to the old site where he found his capped bust dime,KG, 1827 large cent and my 2 coppers.quite a few buttons today... a smaller tombac,some small flat one piece buttons and a nice small one piece with a cool motiff on it. no Large coppers for me but sniffy got a 1802 draped bust LC
i dug my very first bat wing buckle and after a drenched day walking the trail out i got a mercury spill.jess helped me out and he dug a merc and a silver war nickel. then further up trail almost out of the woods i got a large bent cloak button.straightened it out the best i could.
the brush in pic is what i use to clean my buttons.you can see how nice it cleans up a tombac half done to show you.
not a bad wet day and happy to add this buckle to my collection have a great week all!
DAN!!!!! this is the site i was tellin you about the trenched well.i included pics so you can see what i mean.

That green moss looks almost comfy enough to sleep on....Nice Batwing.....I think you should seriously make a functionable belt out of it.

Some neat stuff. I love the big button with the design.

These buckles have been the subject of much debate around here... But yet again here is an example that was recovered at a site where the relics were primarily 1700s or very early 1800s. I will simply state again that I do not think these "batwing" buckles are mid-1800s. The relics recovered are simply not representative of that time frame.

Those are some Great finds you made! Cool photos too.


Best Wishes,


Buckles
