Short evening hunt yields a few nice finds

[BTV Digger]

Got out for about two and a half hours this evening at the place I found the 2 Center last week. Concentrated around where the old privy used to be. Man, tons of old broken bottles. If I have the time and patience, and I'm willing to bust my a..., I'm sure there's some neat stuff lying beneath that area. Anyways, here's a quick look at this evening's keepers. Several buckles (appear to be silver plated, or am I guessing wrong on that? Perhaps just brass?), toe tap, lantern parts I assume, and some sort of ornate clasp or something (pics included). Anybody have a guess on that one? Would it have had a picture inside, perhaps a cameo? Thanks for looking.

You got some very nice finds there. Sorry i can't help you on the ornate piece. It is cool though.

wow some very high vdi targets where you were at , those buckles and brass handle collars sound just like coins . bet there are a couple of coins hiding nearby. can you post any better close ups of the "clasp thing" ??

Looks like lots of finds from near the barn. Good luck when you get back there.

Here's a few more shots if that helps Dan. About as good as I can do with the wife's SLR digital. Looks like it perhaps opened up in the back, but that's all corroded now.

It almost looks like a segmented piece to an old bracelet or fancy neck chain.
