Did a short hunt at my cut Pistareen site after work. Mostly just very iffy signals left. Rosehead nail, flat buttons, tombacs, buckle fragments and those two piece tombac buttons with the front missing. Found a lot of those here. What would have been on the front? They are the ones on the right in the first pic. Also dug the tiniest of tacks. Probably from a shoe so you know Im only finding low conducters. Added a group pic of most of the buckle fragments and tombacs Ive found here. I dont see many buckle fragments posted so dont know if its common to find this many at colonial sites. I havent found many at other colonial sites. Maybe everyone else tosses them but I like them. Makes me appreciate more the only complete knee buckle frame I found elsewhere earlier in the week

Interesting that so many of those items are fragmented - but still a Bonanza! :icon_thumright:

Well it is a plowed field. The only complete buckle found here was a spectacle buckle so Im not complaining

I figured I must have been looking at the result of a couple of centuries worth of plowing here. :unhappysmiley:

Definitely a good site!
