What a day! 5 colonial coppers, silver cufflink, seated half dime and much more

[toasted]

I wish all days could be like this. Took off work to hit some fields before the cold returns and eventually planting begins. First field was where I found the 1600s button and 1810 LC. Got a few flat buttons, IHP, small early buckle, toasted colonial copper and the real nice half dime.

I then went and got some lunch and decided to hit a field that Ive had permission for for a while. In the past I had focused on a section I hoped had 19th century activity but that had never panned out. This time I decided to try another rise in the field and that was where the fun began. First target was a KG II I then noticed brick, pottery and oyster shell everywhere. Ended up digging 3 more as well as all the usual suspects on a colonial site. Oddly, not many buttons though. Im hoping the silver cufflink is colonial as it is definately not a usual suspect. The site seems pretty large so I may be here for a while

Thanks. Whats your thoughts on cufflink age

Thanks. Whats your thoughts on cufflink age

Octagonal cuff links or cuff buttons generally date to the 1st half over the 18th century. I'd estimate your example dates to the latter part of that period. That seems to go along well with your other finds.

This is an interesting piece as well. Bowl shaped with what appears to be a scene of dogs chasing a deer

Thats a killer hunt for any relic hunter!

 

[horsesterry]

Very nice. Lucky you!

Thats a very nice selection of early stuff. I really like the trapezoidal and asymmetrical buckle, but my favourite is that silver link. That's the winner winner chicken dinner there!
