This morning was cool, and dew dusted the freshly cut hay field near a spot where General Corwallis and his troops marched and hid out, preparing for a inevitable short battle. Times were unsettled here in the 1700's. Militia, Whig and the flamboyant Tory soldiers rode their horses dressed to the hilt. Over 200 years later, I enter in the same fields and forest's as these very people once did. I generally take a seat for a while before detecting, and imagine what it must have been like in those days living in fear like our forefathers once had. I envision horse and buggy's riding by, Ladies dressed in their fancy dresses and the proud men who protected them . Some of them just passing by on route to cross a large river nearby where it is slightly easier to cross, maybe some are heading to the local Blacksmith to buy some heavy gauge square nails or the weekly town meeting. Some families had left things behind that I am fortunate enough to find occasionally in the red hard packed clay. Today I dug a few more items like the really cool pewter shoe buckle or the lead seals used on fabric that came by sail ship.

I would like to know more about the Anchor Cuff buttons I assume are 1800's.
If you know any thing on the other photos, please let us know.
Thanks for looking!
