Nice finds.
I graduated last May! Although I am planning on attending Law School starting in the Fall of 2020.
Found several buttons at this site that still had clothe attached to them. I think the Tombac has the most clothe attached out of any button I’ve ever found. I believe it was in a spill with the...
Here’s a photo of the back. Although it looks like a thread is attached to the button, it is really just a piece of the fabric the button was sitting on when I took this photo.
This past Friday I had one of my best hunts in about 3 years. Hit a very remote cellar deep in the RI woods, it was about a 2 mile hike from my car to the site. The area has over a dozen colonial...
Yes. 100%
Hard to believe I posted this over three years ago. Cellars were far more productive back in 2015 than they are now. Nevertheless I still hunt them and yes they are still worth it.
Nice finds. Love the shoe buckles.
I apologize for my inactivity on this forum. It was a very busy 2018 for me. Anyways I’m planning on being on here more this year.
Yesterday I met up with two of my friends Sam and Isaac. We headed...
Hopefully we can get a hunt in together this fall. It’s been several years since we last hunted together. On another note: do you have any idea why the forum is not letting me upload photos? It keeps...
Here’s a photo of the trime. I’m having some issues uploading photos so I’ll get the rest in a bit.
Been a while since I have been on this forum. Here’s the year update: 1 copper (possibly a William and Mary), 2 half reales, a trime, and some nice relics. Was quite busy during the winter and...
I'll try to get it in this week/weekend. Not much else to do with all this snow coming tomorrow...
Hi all. Been a while since I posted on here. I think I'm gonna start posting again in 2018, I just got lazy and side tracked this year. I'll post an end of the the year wrap up on here in the coming...
Thanks Dan. I sure hope so!
I hope so. I actually went back to the site today and pulled a trigger guard piece (my first one) so that increases the odds that it is indeed military related.
Thanks! The thing rang up just like big silver
I've been lazy on this forum, but now that school is done for the year I should hopefully be more active. Not gonna say much but I'll post a few pictures of some of my better finds. Nothing...
Been a few weeks since I last posted so I figured it was time for me to post again. The massive snowstorm earlier this month never truly slammed RI the way it did other states so I was actually able...
Over two weeks ago the snow from the last storm finally melted allowing me to get out and do some detecting. In the past two weeks I have detected in temperatures ranging from 10 degrees over 70...
My prediction was right on schedule. I was able to get out for a short hunt this Monday. Not a whole lot (couple of buttons) but I've hammered the place and just wanted to get out and do some much...
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm looking forward to getting out again next week at least locally in my area. The snow is already melting and should mostly be gone after Sunday. Probably be a bit...
I figured I would post today considering we are supposed to get 10-15 inches of snow and I won't be detecting for at least 1.5 weeks more than likely. Got out a week ago after school to look for a...
I agree that number 713 looks the most similar but it said above that most knee buckles have the double tongue, my buckle only has a single spike as a tongue not the usual two "prongs" that all of my...
Yes I couldn't find an exact match on that website. But the frame is in a similar style and the iron stud is similar, just the anchor shape isn't as long.
