A little Hoard of Big Brass ship spikes

[MaineRelic]

I was in the woods this morning on a good sized flat bench up above the high tide mark of the river ! They used to build Schooners at this site along the river back in it's heyday .This is a new site for me and the weather was Gorgeous and I was excited to Hunt ! 4 hrs later I was beat with not to much to show ! I did find the 5 big brass rosehead ship spikes .All five from the same hole ! The curious thing is that they were all standing vertical with there heads up in a very tight bunch about 5 inches down to the top of them.These suckers are a 7 inch long 1/2 inch square cut brass rosehead ship spike ! I am trying to date them but I think it might be difficult Since you can still buy reproductions of them for ship restoration. I also got the Ring Hardware ! I am trying to Identify this as period marine hardware ! I also found 2 cuff bottons, 1 flat button . and the beat up Eagle ! I wish the eagle was in one piece ! I don;t come across civil war eagle bottons very often here in Maine this was only my 3rd in three years ! Two musketballs and a couple of do dads . No decent coins today ! MaineRelic.

Brass ship spikes. I do not think I have ever seen those posted here before. Prett daum cool MaineRelic. Yeah dont get mad this site has many lurkers. Go into Indian artifacts and its stacked with guest checking out the finds and never a comment one. You always know the ones that care and try to take the time to reply.
Thanks for sharing the hunt and never seen before finds. I gotta get out of the artifact section and start back metal detecting.
Happy Huntin
