Went out to check out a site I saw this spring. It's about 1 3/4 mile walk. Unfortunately, it's been hit many,many times. I saw holes ranging from a couple of months to a few years. I commend the people that go out there. The road this is off has a gate at both ends so atvs can't get past it. So they're either walking or mountain biking. I spent 2 hours and did manage a few things. I found a lamp burner but it's something I've never seen before. It's made of pewter,not copper and it screws on to something. Any ideas on that would be helpful. I got a older style tack buckle, a stem and a bowl from a pewter spoon. They don't match, the stem is engraved with a maker-yale&henshaw - which puts it 1835-37. And 4 buttons. One tiny flat button , 2 buttons with a nice floral design and War of 1812 Artillery button. I really wanted something from that war so I guess it would be a bucket Lister. After using soap and water with a soft bristle brush ,all the gold came out. I guess it wasn't a wasted 4 mile trip after all!!
