BACK TO MY VERY 1ST CELLAR HOLE * FOLDED COPPER & A SADDLE SHIELD

was bored today and not many places to choose from.I decided to go back to my very 1st cellar hole.It was where I dug my very 1st cellar hole coppers.draped bust,King George II & a matron head.I have brought Dan,George & Jessie to this site and all pretty much scored coppers here,,, well..... let me rephrase that... all the guys using White's machine's have scored coppers at this site.I won't mention the e-trac users name rofl
This cellar hole has been hit hard by some seasoned pro's and things were pretty quiet for the most part.I was kickin branches and rolling rotted trees. I was diggin anything that slightly beeped iron and all. 4 hours and going slow I managed a bent over wiped out large copper(Connecitut copper underneath is for size comparison) makes ya wonder who did this & why?
a nice saddle shield.a small cuff button with an acorn motiff and a designed oval drawer hardware? or is it a saddle guide plate? I have dug numerous of these at colonial sites and only one had the 2nd piece.that piece is similiar in shape to the back piece of a bridle rosette.so it could be some sort of strap guide. and a few pieces of old lead.
ticks are still out like crazy so please continue to be careful. for the record if ya hold your bic lighter to em while on pant leg they pop like popcorn! :grin:

Yeah, who would bend a copper like that? Nice finds, going back to your very 1st cellar hole must bring back memories.
