Need alot of help from you Veteran cellar dwellars

Thiltzy

New member
I went to visit my uncle in Maine today and he was telling me about some foundations he came across while hiking. He took me to one of them so I figured I'd pull out the MXT Pro and give it a whirl.

I was only their for about an hour and half and managed a few relics so this is where I need the help from you veterans. I have no clue on the buckle looking thing, the spoon has a cool wheat pattern but I haven't the slightest idea on how to ID it, the button has the shank and the front looks alot like the image of a woman kissing a child but never seen a button like it. Finally the crotal bell doesn't seem too old it has no petal pattern or any intials I could see. None of the relics seem that old so I'm thinking they date around mid 1800's to early 1900 :dontknow: But I am no expert

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance

some very high value targets around that cellar , you should be finding coins too. yes most of the items look around mid to late 1800's to ma as well. i would like to see a better picture of the buckle thing though.
 
some cool finds dude.that buckle thing is kinda interesting too but with what appears to be some sort of rivet on each end I don't know if that's gonna end up being a buckle? congrats on the crotal bell.love diggin those!
