I hunted for a little bit after work yesterday and picked up 3 buttons, the really small one is different for me. I was thinking colonial era, but could anyone verify? Also found the brass buckle...also can't tell if it's colonial period or 1800's. Today I went out to one of our pounded sites. Didn't turn up much, a flat button, old iron fork and my best find was the iron skeleton key. It's my second skeleton key, but my first one that's fully intact. It's a big one, too! No earth shattering finds, but still fun to get out! HH!

Thanks! I was really surprised to dig the key out of one of my own holes that I dug last year. lol That really goes to show you don't get it all and just the different tone something can make on swinging it a different direction. Of course I was digging all signals yesterday, but still!
 

Great job matt. That buckle is awesome.
