Got out for an hour hunt this morning to a sugar sand site that years ago produced 3 coppers, two William III Halfpence and one 1736-38 Irish KGIII Halfpenny and a few pewter buttons and pieces of broken musket trigger guard. A very clean place, no junk other than an ocassional shotgun casing.
Deep, over 6-8 inches down in the sand at that same spot I got the broken pieces of trigger guard years before, I expected another piece, but no, in the sand pile was a sliver of silver starging at me. I had hoped it was a cut spanish silver piece, but no, not to be.
When I got home, I used a toothpick to knock the sand out of the hole, no other cleaning needed. Now the question is, what was this a part of? My guess is that it is the tongue of a very tiny silver buckle? Agree or any other ideas?
