CELLAR HOLE*SILVER KNEE BUCKLE*COPPER!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with fast frank today and decided to go back up to the site where i dug my chain cent along with 6 other coppers.
Today 1st target near the the area i dug most coppers last time on cellar hole lip out popped a no date King George II. 2nd target near the coin was the brass knee buckle.never seen one like this before with the round nubs on it. dug a ton of iron around lip,had to take a break from that,
wandered around away from cellar hole and got a nice reading at 5 inches. a gorgeous silver framed designed knee buckle popped out :shock:
never dug a silver one yet.it's not marked and no signs of any peeling so i'm almost sure it's solid silver. a few buttons and a iron spur with the spur buckle still fused to it.just a little rust is all thats holding it onto the spur.
was a great day! Frank got a nice 1787 Ct copper and some buttons

Dave, was the hole large as would suggest wealth? I assume not every middle class farmer was running around with silver buckles. Great digs!

the hole is just behind frank in the photo.no stones left in the foundation but it was a good size hole and probably he had more money than the average citizen
