[HEAVYMETALNUT]

hi everyone!
our detecting club had permission to hunt a 1700's colonial farmhouse.revolutionary war army regiments were recorded as being on this property.it was a tavern in the early 1800's.mostly relic finds.alot of neat stuff was found today.i pulled a revolutionary war era buckle,a old pocket watch back aneat scrolled button & some other odds and ends.some guy pulled this huge crotal bell and gave it to my hunting buddy ron.i was given the 3 brass items in the picture under my finds.2 buckle type thingy's and some other cool thing with a date of 1810 on it.after the hunt we got permission in another town to detect this huge abandoned mansion.a few odds and ends there. ron pulled a nice little kids gold ring,a large cent.i pulled a little ornate button seen in the photo with the iron war era buckle.overall a good day.everyone had fun.
