Todd & me rode to RI to meet up with John.we located 4 cellar holes out there.2 we couldn't find & the other 2 were pounded to death.I got 3 good targets :hysterical: in 8 hours of detecting & about 5 miles of hiking.
1824 matron head large cent,a civil war calvary eagle button with string still attached to shank(looks like a Evans & co backmark) and some weird silver plated eagle talon? piece.any clue what this may be or from would be appreciated.
And Todd & myself will do it all over again Sunday! hopefully these sites ain't pounded.
John didn't get much & Todd got a few plain flat buttons.

seems to be shaped like that.it's not bent at all and it's brass with silver wash or plating
 
Great finds, Dave! |:cheering:

Very nice calvary button with lots of gilt left on it! :loveit:

Of course, being a coin person I love the 1824 large cent too! :yes:

That silver plated item seems to be shaped like a peacock, and the feathers on it look like peacock feathers. Very curious what it could have been attached to. :thinkingabout:
 
:thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: Dave the piece looks like the lower beak , neck,breast and and just under the tail section of some kind of bird that must of had somekind of screw to attach it to the top half of the bird. :dontknow:

possibly to one of these.

those quilting or sewing clamps can go back pretty far Dave , atleast very early 1800's
 
Wow, now that's an ID |:cheering: Nice job Dan!

Great Finds once again Dave |:cheering: I don't know how you guys get out so much :detecting: makes me envious of your locations, research and dedication to the hunt!
