Still no coins or buttons but I did pull a musket ball ,small buckle and a stirrup today . Lots of targets .Most are junk but very little modern trash! I also pulled some large iron that's not pictured but show that this area was pretty busy at one time.
Can any one ID the stirups age ? This is the first whole one that I have dug.

From the lan of the Bluenose.....interesting lot of finds. My guess would be around 1900's but no expert. Glad you got out and best of the season.

Sorry I can't help on the stirrup but that's better than a coin or button in my book Keep plugging away while you can!!!

Awesome finds Trent! I found a stirrup just like that back in the mid 90's in North Raleigh.....but believe it or not, I think I tossed it in the woods. I still can't believe that. Was this at the fishing spot you told me of, without giving away your spot.

You are pulling up some great old relics from that new spot.
Don't give up, I think you are on to something there. Congrats on that full stirrup.
