    colonial home,short beach and cellar hole hunt

    started the morning at a new colonial home i got permission from next town over and i think the yard was filled in as not to much stuff older than 1930's surfaced.thought i had a copper in the first pic but it's some lighter weight metal.not even copper.next we went to a resovoir about 20 min drive from my house.ron got a nice 10kt gold mason ring.i got squat.then we spotted a cellar hole on town land and stopped and hit it for awhile.branches were dropping from wind i was almost a casualty anyways not that great of a day.2 reindeer bells,i don't think they are crotal bells.these look like they were on a leather strap like reindeer bells.a cool brass handmade hook type thing?a small button.not sure what the brass backed colored flower thing-a-ma-jig is? this kinda cool chain came out near the cellar hole.any ideas guys? a old plumb bob and a small thimble.
    ron got the find of the day that's for sure!wish i took a pic of it.maybe i'll snagg it when he posts and post it here.

    Not a bad hunt... lots of different stuff. You should be able to open a flea market with all your finds lol That yard was probably filled in or had been cherry picked. But it's always nice to get out!!
    Finding relics is in my blood
