COLONIAL HUNT WITH GARY*CLOAKER,A NEAT LOCK & A SLIVER OF SILVER

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

got out with Gary to 2 diferent sites.not too much surfaced but,i got a designed dandy or cloak button,a solid brass lock with a nice green patina(any idea on age) a newer suspender buckle and i think this oval style suspender buckle maybe slightly older? looks like the style of etching you'd see on cloak buttons :confused:
and to end the day i got a coin silver handle tip off a fork or spoon.saw the edge in hole and was thinkin reale :shocked04:stretcher:
a few keepers for the relic display..nothing to write home about that's for sure :embarrassed:

Nice couple of relics thumbsup01 Is that a thistle design on that cloaker? :confused: That is an old style on the oval (suspender?) piece. That spoon tip would have made me think Spanish too lol But how can you get mad a silver? :thinkingabout: Bet it felt good to get out.

not sure G if its a thistle on the cloaker looks more like a bundle of wheat standing up tied around the middle ? this is the second oval suspender face i have dug.the other was a stamped design and looked newer than this piece :confused:
i'll take silver at a colonial site any day of the week my friend ;)

thanks Dan,i'll snap a pic of keyhole.yep it's on the bottom.can ya give me an approximate age on it? ballpark? :confused:
only mark at all on lock is a # 3
Gary got a couple flat buttons.finds were sparse today. the lock was 4 inches deep and locked on solid 84 quarter signal.thought i had a coin for sure with that signal

Hidy Heavy . Naw after I seen it didnt have a :usaflag: on it I just put it in the box with Kenton on it . I might dig it out and check on it . I think thats the one I let set in apple vinegar for a month .
