    Rev war button, early shoe buckle,

    Been lazy once again on this forum. But, I'm back now. Got out this weekend with my buddy Jarrod to hit a few sites I knew where going to be quite old. First site looked more like a pit than a cellar hole, Barely any rocks in it but the iron around the lip confirmed to us that it was a homesite. Not many targets at all there but scored a cuff link right of the bat. Not far away from the cuff link I dug my first ever rev war button. This button is a British Royal Provincial Button worn by loyalist troops! Very very happy with that find. I decided to swing the dirtbike path that led away from the site and got a nice solid midtone and popped out my oldest shoe buckle to date. This had an anchor chape but it broke off right away and I was unable to find the top piece of it. Luckily I got a photo of it before it broke. We hit two more sites after that spot but I skunked out for the rest of the day. Jarrod managed anpewter button and a nice colonial thimble. Not a ton of finds but very happy with what I got. It's good to be back! Happy hunting!
