Got out with Danny LaMontagne and Dave Wise yesterday for some Colonial Cellar Hole digging. It was a great day and we all made some great finds. I found my very first Revolutionary War era Sling Buckle! You never know when lightning will strike!

Looks like it may have been a British soldiers waist type buckle and not a shoulder slide type we had first thought Donnie http://www.historicalimagebank.com/g...ckle+.jpg.html

The British Waist Buckle looks identical to me. I think we may need to investigate that site a little further. There may have been a British Tory living there at one time. Wouldn't it be something if one of us found a Long Live the King button or further evidence at that site?
