    Last Few Hunts

    Hey all. Not much to report. Nabbed 10 buttons at my button site where Frank & I we've pulled over 100 buttons.

    Got out with Frank yesterday and nabbed a sleigh bell marked: PAT OCT 24 76 & MAY 14 78, as well as the barrel tap, small cuff button and the football shaped thingy.

    Thats a good day hunting in my book Roger , the sleigh bell and cufflink button are solid finds . The "football shaped thingy" is to a saddle strap guide , i'm sure its colonial era .

    Thanks Drew! I don't know what it was but I'd say probably a meeting house of some sort.
