DAY 2 AT THE 1729 FARM HOUSE

[pigeonman]

Went back to the 1729 farmhouse for round 2 and it didn't disappoint.found a little of every thing.i was thrilled to get the tap in whole condition.a nice brass buckle was found and a old lead pendant with initials on it,very thick.the loop with the hook on the end is very unusual.any ideals?did find a few coins but this time more copper.the liberty cap cent is very thick and i could see some letters on the edge.the little silver coin is odd,has double F's with crown on top and on the other side has schilling courant with some other words dated 1804,the other copper is a 1811 or 1814.did find a few button and here are the best ones today,early naval and a small one with what looks like a man standing.i was very happy with these finds today.

Don,here's a pic of the front and back of button.while cleaning other small pieces from this hunt i was surprise to find this little gem mixed in,portrait of a gentleman craved in a piece of stone or onyx.thanks for the id on the rev war french officer's button.

Guess the onyx portrait is the guts of a wax seal! The portrait button still is unknown, and really would like to get a possible ID on that one for you. Does it appear to be a soldier perhaps?

hard to say if its a soildier.looks like a man with his arms cross but i agree with you its a very interesting button.

Man, you are tearing it up! Like I said in your other post, you have one helluva spot!!! Those are all great finds. The button with the standing man looks very familiar...I know I have seen it before!

Holy Shamoli Batman! That is some digs!

I found one on your mystery loops last year. I was told it was a gag hook.

Wow, I am speechless. I really must start asking permission at the older homes in my area!!

Fantastic post!!

Were laces used in the 18th century? If so, it could also be a skate key!

The gag hook goes with the gag loop that you found on your previous hunt!
