2/13/12 hunt

What do you do when work gets cancelled at the last minute? Why go detecting. Here are my finds from a cellar hole that I kept
putting off because it is so close to the road I thought for sure someone would have hit it. The very first target was the 1837 LC.
I found my first complete drawer pull, i know it has a technical name but it escapes me.A few musket balls and some buckles and
the usuall shot gun shells finished the day off. I did find my lucky horse shoe but i dont know if it is for today or the next time I hunt
there. It was one of the last items found. I did go scouting up the abandoned road because there is another cellar hole listed on the map. I did find a rustic looking cellar hole but it was devoid of any targets. It might not be the house because there is no trash
what-so ever. Next time I go it will be a weekend so my hunting buddy can go. I feel a little bad going there without him. I still cant
believe we are woods hunting in mid feb. thanks all for looking and reading my rambling. mike

Work cancelled, no doubt, go metal detecting. Nice LC and I am by no means an expert but I think the drawer pull is a Chippendale style brass. Is it made of brass?? Congrats on some nice hunting.

Yes it is brass, I dinged it on the back side.Didn't realize it was a two piece target.

What's that second thing down? Looks like a suspender clip but i've never seen one like that. Those pointy things look old.
I hope there is more swingable area there. Congrats and good luck.

.I do believe they are a type of suspender clip. I'm surprised you being from NE Conn you havent come across any.Ive
many over the years, usually without the ring.
