Last week I had a great weekend of detecting, but I found the item at the bottom of the photo, which is a thin piece of brass, that I cannot ID.

Nearly all of the finds at the site fall between 1770-1830. Any help on the ID is appreciated.

For those of you who are going to ask, the cylindrical items are bird bands. The small one is from a Purple Martin which was banded in 2004 in Goshen, Cape May Co. NJ. I am still working on the ID of the bigger band.

From Colchestertreasurehunting:

17th/ 18thC Clog and shoe fasteners

Clogs: Footwear made either completely of wood, or having a wooden sole to which a leather, rubber, or cloth covering may be attached. Until the end of the 18th century, clogs were what the majority of people wore on their feet, as they were inexpensive and protective.

The clasps made for use on clogs and shoes were made in two parts: the clasp (the hook side) and the hasp (the cut out section) to take the hooked part of the clasp

Thanks! So they wore Crocs back then? Haha . I would like to see a picture of one in use on the clog.

Thanks again!
Neil
