bracelet and relics

[McCDig]

Got out for two hours late this afternoon and ended up digging mostly mid-tones; there were very few high tones. Several of the mid-tones turned out to be nickels.

From the mid-tone responses I dug a buckle fragment with a deep green patina. Another mid-tone yielded a silver bracelet.

The one high-tone relic is a bit of a puzzle to me. It is dome-shaped, looks like brass and the back shows evidence of iron and lead.

Thx Jamie! I'm learning to "dig it all". Won't even consider what I've passed over, just go back and dig the mids.

Thx Trezurehunter! Looks like the mower may have hit it but I think I found most of the parts.

Thx ATW! Since part of this field is leveled for sports fields it holds modern as well as colonial targets.

Thx Ken! Looks like I found a "nipple" button. The pros have confirmed it.

Thx Tentis! The past two months have produced a number of jewelry items for me. Most have come from this site.

Thx vpnavy! For lack of much in the way of high tones (I did dig a number of square nails and such) the middies came through for me.

Thx Professor! I believe the buckle frag is my favorite of the hunt.

Thx Crusader for the ID! You and smokey recognized something old. To me the patina and the style spoke of age but I know nothing of "nipple" buttons. Now I know a little.

Its a nipple design but not a 17th C nipple button which are a solid tombac type of metal with a wire loop, nothing like this 18th C 2 piece bi-metal type.
