found at a 1700's house DEEP what is it

I found this at a 1700's house way in the back it was buried deep ( 8 inches) inbetween huge tree roots... First, I have no clue on the proper way to clean it..so I dont want to ruin it.... it looks like a belt thingy but I could be wrong so if anyone can tell me how to clean this without ruining it..and what the heck it is...it would be greatly appreciated... It kinda looks like yellowish or copper colored, that could be the rust too...so any input is greatly appreciated...

Well done.

We call them Horse Furniture or commonly Horse Bosses.

Search that area carefully in wet conditions & see what else is there.

The luck is just beginning for you ;)

Congrats Rae. See I told you the nice finds would start coming. Remember what I was saying about research? Well, it's now paying off. Keep hitting that site and do lots of digging. I can't wait to read the posts about your first really old copper or silver finds. The rate you're going I'll be reading them soon.
Good luck on your future hunts at that site.

Congrats on a fantastic find!

If you're a recent purchaser of a DFX, did you get the coupon for a free Super12 coil?
I'm not sure if they're still running that deal.
 

Re: found at a 1700's house DEEP what is it

Congratulations on the find, BB!!! I knew it was only a matter of time!
 

Re: found at a 1700's house DEEP what is it

on the dfx, I got it used off another site, it has 18-19 months left on its warranty...so am assuming its only a month old... and its comming with the 6 in. coil too... and the so called dfx bible...and shoot, those good headphones...red something....or another...

the wooded area where I was hunting... let me explain.. all over nj there is memorials everywhere, where folks have died in wrecks.. cars are always flying and I mean flying airborne into the woods... several have exploded literally, I try to avoid areas where I know thats happened..as theres car parts everywhere and it is gross to me...anyways, I went deeper into the woods, thru thorn bushes... I was like determined to find something..other then car parts...( and I do not recall any accidents there at this site) anyways, I am so dam excited I feel like Indianna booty... aint no stopping me now... I am feeling high as a kite... I just cant tell ya what a rush this is... I kept holding it in my hand saying...omg this was in the civil war... what tales this could tell...I am just so thrilled its not funny...
