Spectacle buckle, cut Silver, early buttons and much more at colonial farms in Virginia

[Chief31]

Great weekend hunt at 2 very old farms in Central VA dating back to 1600s. Very little modern trash and these were the highlights. Love the spectacle buckle one of the best condition ones I have found and I believe dates to early 1600s? My 12th early silver this year and 4th VA halfpenny Penny, some nice unique buttons, never dug the star one before or the other design. The silver plate is very cool as it is from
The Jefferson hotel in Richmond VA and dates in the 1800s(perhaps a giveaway at a wedding or maybe guest room decor which they took!!) normally don’t get excited about spoons but I think this is an early one based on the mark but not sure. Not sure what the pewter decorative piece is off of. Quite a thrill to save all of these early relics.

Great finds! I am honestly surprised that there were no Civil War items found; did the houses burn before the 1860s?

Agree I was surprised but I do think the house site was gone by CW
