Colonial field hunt with Trapperart

[toasted]

Was graciously invited to hunt with forum member Trapperart this morning. Great guy with lots of great looking fields to hunt. Found a 1864 fatty IHP, tombac buttons, shoe buckle fragment, early 18th century stud chape and a late 18th loop chape. Mystery items are bits of lead with multiple flat spots in them. Ive found them in my fields too but have no idea what they were for. Also found the interesting little piece in center with initials engraved on bottom. Looks like a miniature drinking vessel to me. Thanks again Art

I've had loads of those lead bits, Land-Mag who shoot's IDed them as some kind of shotgun pellet. No idea on age/type.

I can't wait to turn you loose on that rev field down from my house, the rate at what you move, you should be able to cover that one in a couple hours

The little carved initial piece is unique, looks like you were getting snippets of good old relics.
