One last Hunt at the Colonial Needle in a haystack......

[johnnyblaze]

Hiked back out to a Colonial cellar hole me and my buddy found after we got lost way,way out in the woods

This is a very early poor site that appears to have never even made it into the 1800's

Judging by the size of the cellar and the walled in areas it was a pretty big place..

Grabbed a pewter button
And the only chape i found at the whole site..

I guess what appears to be a Rev War era sword belt hanger...​

My first hanger ever..It must be military issue i dont think they just wore swords around the home
I could be wrong
And the usual flat buttons..
An iron spoon

Just about time to retire this site..

I am posting the total finds i grabbed a few nice thing and a relic with the name J Brooks so i call it the Brooks cellar..

Have fun out there the best digging days are close

Cool finds JB!! Glad you got out Bud. That looks like a CW knapsack commomnly called a "J" hook unless it's bigger than that. Have fun out there, Q.

Could be a knapsack hanger Quindy

Nothing on this site was from the 1800's...

Nice little spot there Blaze! Cool pewter button, too bad it didn't have some regimental numbers on it
Everything looks 18th century. But I agree with Quindy that one piece is a Civil War pack hook (J-hook)

Very nice hunt Johnny - Looks like a real cool place to hunt

 

[Valley Ranger]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a knapsack hook JB, not a hanger. Still a great find!

Quindy those are quite controversial pieces...

I read in American Digger one time that they were used on horse saddles to hook long Colonial coats or "Cloaks" on..

Steve in Pa pointed me in that direction
