Went back to the new site for a full day of digging. Dug a bunch of buttons once again. Still looking for that big copper i know has to be out there. Should be getting back out there this weekend so hope we find the Coppers!
Second IHP of the day was a fatty and was a first year (my first) IHP 1859. The other came out looking real nice like it was dropped yesterday 1905 IHP.
Dug some nice feather/shell edge pieces, Little clover broach, Manhattan Brass Company oil lamp wick adjuster, grader strap clasp, little d buckle, a whatnot, and a couple more copper nails looking real green.
Was able to dig a part of a pewter spoon/fork, few furniture tacts, and this folded up led with what appears to be the number 6 (maybe 9) what y'all think that is?
Here are the buttons. One came out of the ground all crusted up but you could see a lot of gold on it. Took me a while but i got as much of the crud off as i could. It was Treble Gilt and you can tell. One convex button with a wreath in the middle got me excited. One button i can't make out but has what looks like a line on it. And one part of a button i dug looks like lead and looks two piece. Any ideas?
couple whatzits to finish. The one looks more modern maybe off of a car or something. and this other copper/brass thing looks almost wing nut but its got fancy on it. Thanks for looking and good luck!
