1700's house part II

[padiggin]

So I went back to the same place I've been detecting over the past few weeks, the 1700's homestead. It's located right off of a main stage route between two cities in PA. I detected early Saturday morning at that location and found a musket ball, a marble, a square object (have no idea what it is) that I thought was a belt plate, a small broken piece of thin brass with flower designs, a brass suspender clip with the writing of "Registered 25 August 18?? (looks like either 1856 or 1866), a round brass rosette looking object, a metal horse object that appears to be a child's toy, and a plain flat button. Pictures below.

WOW!!!! Those are some old finds. The round object with the hole looks like a decoration that goes on a horse's bridle. And the horse sure looks like a part to a child's toy all right. That's an oldie. Great finds and keep going back. It sounds like it's a great spot to detect. Thanks for sharing. HH to all, Nancy

Fantastic old finds, I never think about posting any artifacts, just coins and jewelry. But its sure good to see great finds like this, keep up the good work.
