I needed a hike so I headed out to an old cellar hole site that I hit a bunch of times a few years back. It really is just a hole in the ground with no stone foundation. It had given up a killer DB and a dateless Liberty Cap LC and a couple other coppers in the past.
I spent a few hours detecting mostly within 5 feet of the hole and managed what looks like a 1724 King George I halfpenny, a big plated dandy button, a small tombac, chape, part of an ornate but corroded shoe buckle frame, pewter spoon etc.
KG in the raw:
Cleaned up nice.
Found these 3 buttons in the same hole. They have an odd shape to them. They are kind of oblong, almost looks like they were pinched.
Then I remembered I found an identical button a few years back about an 1/8 of a mile back up the trail heading into the site. Pic of that button below.
I don't recall ever seeing buttons in that style. It was a beautiful morning out in the woods. Not too hot, no ticks = good hunt.
