1800s honey hole (lots of pics)

[greaser]

For the past couple trips out I have been hitting what is turning into a major honey hole for 1800s items (Really good for northern Minnesota)
1) butt plate from a 1777 french infantry rifle.





Then two 1800s suspender clips and two same era rings.









What appears to me to be a period musket trigger guard.


PAT.1872 stocking clips I found a pair but only have pics of one.


I am thinking this is some sort of decorative piece or a toy made of lead. It reminds me of a tree stump.




I also found an Acme ANT-KILL from 1900 and a few other small items that I haven't photographed yet.

Thanks Wayne, I think it is done giving up goodies until I get my small coil but man it was fun while it lasted.
