1850s/60s House Site and Relic Hunting

Hey all,

got some much needed rain here over night and into today so I was able to get out and do some diggin

site is relatively clear of modern trash in the area I was concentrating on -- but -- there is a lot of iron as I believe there was a stable or out building of some sort where I was diggin mainly,

best find IMO is the Eagle I button (but even better) is the fact my buddy just went over the same ground and I mean the exact ground/spot with his AT Pro about 5 minutes earlier and missed it so needless to say when I went thru there and dug it out = he was PO'ed

worth mention:
crusty injun
flat button
lead musket ball
iron sash buckle
some other type of buckle?
etc

see pics,

Hope You'all are getting out too.

Great hunt! Got to love the CTX 3030. For me it's the best detector I have ever used.

nice finds. Thanks for the pics.

Does an archeologist argue with a plow? A bureaucrat with a bulldozer?

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Nice Eagle button.
Don’t seem to get too many of those over here in Northern California.

Congrats.

Nice Eagle I button Wayne! Nice to see someone getting out in our neck of the woods.

Dude I wanna find an I button! Sweet!

Man you killin' it ! It looks like the small coil for the CTX is the bomb!

Bumped for comparison of the F19 thread

PS

come to find out - that little round type thing that sorta looks like a gun trigger thing is a candle stick holder thingy -- it was attached to the candle holder -- 1st one of those I ever found
