Today I took some friends to another colonial site. It was pretty productive. I found a 1785 Connecticut copper (Bust facing right),shotgun brass <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> ,Pewter buttons,shotgun brass <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin"> , Pewter spoon, Gilt buttons and parts of oil lamps. The copper is a little beat but can make out some details. Pics will follow once things are cleaned up a bit.
 
Here are the pics for Sundays Finds. Some colonial buttons, Mack truck watch fob,and believe it or not the coin on the bottom is a 1785 Connecticut copper...I guess I should be happy with one good copper out of ten. This one isn't the one. I'm not sure what the little button is. It says London on the back with a leaf design. It is a two piece button. Does anyone know when two piece buttons were first produced?
 
Here are some pics from the same location. Pewter Spoon..Most likely American made, Silver plated spoon,more colonial buttons,A post revolutionary New York State Militia Button. The "Iron Key" looking thing is an Ox bow keeper/key that was used to lock the bow into the yoke.This is from the colonial period.I didn't know what it was until my wifes 92 year old grandfather showed me a few that he had. They were his grandfathers and were in perfect shape.
