My last name is Cumberland...! Would you believe me if I told you that my great-great-great-great-grandfather lost those..? Hey You can't blame me for trying.

Very nice score (A complete Post Medieval copper-alloy cufflink, dating 1746-1770.)
I truly hope you can get back there and save as much as possible.

That is an amazing find. Most things that old from non-native origin are centered on a few colony areas and in the north east / New England areas. Did not think near the north and south Carolina border area fit those categories.

We had some very early settlers here also.

I use to think the same ..there was a guy on another forum from Morehead city found lots of early colonial stuff and when you consider the amount of colonial activity that occurred in Virginia it’s not really surprising that there was activity a few hundred miles down the coast at the same time..actually when you take weather in to consideration it makes more sense to settle in a milder climate..
