perfect detecting weather

[OxShoeDrew]

My partner and I continued detecting a neighborhood of cellar holes that we started last weekend. This area includes a train depot. They are producing the usual items.
Thimble
tombac button, shank is very off center
Broke flat button
1880 Indian head
Pickle fork
3 fly buttons
Suspender clip made in Glastonbury, Ct
Musket ball
Bridle rosette
I also found 2 tack buckles in one hole. My partner made a surface find of a flat button right on the cellar hole lip. He also picked 20 ticks off to my one. It was perfect weather....lots of fun!!

Thank you Toadman, I thought that button was tombac but I don't really know for sure. It really has a hand made look to it.

yes the shiney button on the left top is a colonial tombac , the fork is just a regular fork as almost all were only two prong up until the mid 1800's .

Thanks Dan, I don't know which is more fun...digging the stuff or learning about it.

I'm starting to wonder if certain people are more attractive to ticks than others. My partner ALWAYS picks ticks off while I seldom do.
Thanks, I feel my hunts are getting more productive but I still need to learn WHERE THE COINS ARE.

Keep at it Drew. You'll find the coins. I also seldom get ticks on me. The past few seasons my detecting buddy used to get 30-40 compared to 2 or 3 for me. I think this year has been one of the worse tick seasons. Almost every woods hunt this year I've been getting quite a few on me.
Nice looking saves Drew!! :clapping: Keep it up.
