One lonely find today, but it's from the 1700's 
I waited this morning till the temps got closer to freezing and then went had a one mile walk to my site, I no sooner got there, when the sleet and rain that was predicted for later in the day, decided to visit me several hours earlier!
Luckily I did get one good reading very early in the hunt, very close to where a half real was found by my son a couple years back, I got a nice pair of cufflinks which I am sure are from the 1700's.
The sleet turned to all rain and after about two hours of it, I called it quits and squished back to my truck happy for at least one old find today.
When I got home and looked at the pair of cufflinks, I recognized the design and went to my box I keep finds that have not been put on display yet and sure enough, there was one half of a set that matched exactly to the pair I found today!
I am not sure how many sets of cufflinks I now have but I might have enough to make up a new shadow box with just cufflinks on display. I have more somewhere, most likely in my found folders and will consider it another one of my winter projects to get done.
I attached a photo of some of the other cufflinks that I had readily available and there are a couple nice ones in there. I believe all are from 18th century and possibly a tad into the 19th century.
