Colonial finds from a few weeks past

[Hunthicks]

Nothing really special, but I'm bored, so might as well post 'em up.
Few tombac flats, yet another crusty copper, spoon. All the usual colonial stuff. Man, I need to get out here soon, at least fall is on the way!

This piece is a bit of an oddity. It's egg shaped and made from a similiar metal to crotal bells. It's hollow, but is filled with either some type of plaster or maybe even lead from the weight of it, the "filling" flops around a bit and the hole goes completely through.. Coins found in the vacinity were mostly mid to late 1700s.
I might post it up in the what is it forum but I'll stick it here for now. My only thought was super tiny doorknob >.<

I'm getting there, a bottle of robaxacet goes a long way, still don't think I'll be doing any digging for a week or two. Any finds are still good finds, I'll be glad when this heat gets done with! Was hoping to convince my bro to go check out a 1700s shipbuilding site, but likely gonna have to postpone that!

I'll post it up in the whats it forum one of these days, maybe someone will know. Heavy little bugger anyways!

Finally back to normal! We can't have you popping Spanish silver and 2nd Americans every time out. That's my job when Ironhorse and I visit.

Yeah, I wanna save the really good stuff for the fall anyways!

It could be a bead. If it's colonial there a good possibility indians were at/around/near there as well. Never know! Nice finds as well; silver is always welcome.

Thank you Crusader. I re-read the description after I wrote my comment . Sometimes the foot switches with the fingers. Cool find for him either way.

Tis what I was figuring after remembering the annoying doorknob in my grandparents 200 year old house...which reminds me I need to start digging up their lawn! Er, well, hayfield.
