I hate to sound like a broken record but research paid off again today. I recently got permission to detect a very large piece of property that has at least two mid early 1800s home sites that would be great to detect. Today I detected one of them. I had a pretty good idea of where I had to go and before too long I started to find bricks and clam shells on the surface.
I discovered a nice handful of buttons, including one quite interesting one which has a Wellington backmark. This is an 1815-16 commemorative button produced after the Duke of Wellington's victory at Waterloo. Cool! I also found part of a crotal bell, a buckle, and two small decorative pieces. Perhaps one may have been from a purse.
Overall a great day, thankfully the downpours ended early , and I was able to find my way around the bridge that was out..
