Invited Brian & Danny down to do some cellar hole hunting yesterday. Definitely put on alot of miles, probably close to 8, but the finds made up for that. The first set of pictures are my finds from that hunt. Got a decent handful of buttons, a 1770 KGIII cut into an octagon which was most likely going to be used for a button. Then this morning my Dad and I decided to get out to a site that I found and it turned out pretty good! Got two buttons, half of a late 1600's to early 1700's spur buckle, a very nice colonial wedding band, and an escutcheon plate! Happy father's day everyone!

, you did very well despite the few finds that were around at these sites ( a few of the sites had been plundered by HEAVYMETALNUT and Thiltzy ) . That copper must have some great history to it , with the way the front looks very worn and the back still has good detail. I'm convinced it was going to be turned into an 8 sided dandy button , very neat piece . 
Congrats!
