Friday, I finally got the chance to return to the cabin site that I hunted last spring. In March, I found several keepers at this site, including a double cavity brass bullet mold and several Civil War era military buttons. This trip didn’t produce a lot of things, but a few worth keeping. Two utensil handles, both have maker marks. One is marked C.Parker the other I can’t quite make out the text. They are both made of gray metal and are relatively soft, so possibly pewter? Also, a piece of a suspender clip with a floral pattern, a iron harness buckle, a wedge for a wooden tool handle, a toe plate, and a brass circular item that I don’t know what is. The toe plate is in really good condition and has stamped in the front Pat. Nov 28 1858. This is the largest toe plate that I have found. It measures 2-11/16” wide. Possibly for a Brogan? I will return to this site with hopes of a coin or two and more buttons. HH
