Kindle Farmers Back in Action!

[Kindle Farmers]

Good afternoon everyone! Summer vacation is over and school is back in session, which means Treasure Hunting Class is back! We've started off the year well with some cool finds (thanks to the generous donations of equipment we received in the Spring. So far, we have managed to find 2 sweet pieces of Native American pottery (they fit together like a puzzle), a part of a colonial buckle, some horse tac, railroad spike, what we think is a heal plate, a brass latch, possible quartz arrowhead, a cut (or broken) Draped Bust large cent and something we are not sure about.

Thanks for looking and for your thoughts!

Check back later for updates! We go detecting every Tuesday and Friday!

How about a "flip shot" macro of that "coin"... looks interesting.

Obverse is smooth, no detail left. The reverse shows the wreath and part of the United States of America lettering. I'll ask the photography class to try and get some good macro shots for us.

Great finds!

I believe your heel plate is actually a toe plate.

You should put your pottery shards in the Native American Artifacts forum on Tnet. They will tell you more about it. Your shards are "punctated" (dots).

Keep digging!

Thanks DCMatt, we posted the pottery this morning in the Native American section. Not many comments yet. The pieces are extremely similar to one that came in a kit we have on loan from the Vermont Historical Society.

Your buckle piece is from a shoe buckle of the 18th C.



#28 on this chart.

You certainly have the area for old stuff that's for sure,it's there already I always say,you just gotta look for it.

Looking forward to more finds.

Here's hoping your class can dig up some history this year, nice start...I like those shards! The clip left of the buckle looks similar to a men's sock garter clip (close in design to "Boston Garter" clip). I could easily be wrong.
You might focus around the R.R. Spike and follow the old R.R. Tracks,might find something interesting along the way.

Congrats on a good start for this year. Hope to see you posting something to rival last season's find!

THE SHERDS ARE COOL AS HECK AND THE FINDS ARE SWEET . THAT SURE IS A PEICE TO A SHOE BUCKLE , NICE ID MATT . HALFT TO KEEP AN EYE ON KINDLE FARMERS AND SEE WHAT ELSE THEY FIND ....

We might sift the soil a little near where the pottery shards were found, it would be so cool to piece together the pot!

 

[against the wind]

I was going to suggest a sifter but I can see that you guys are a Graduate School. Way ahead of me

I wish my school had a Treasure Hunting Class I may have learnt more than did about History, instead of how to beat people up.
