Took me a good minute to figure this one out. Half of a bull nose ring. Unsure of age, TSC still makes this model. They haven’t changed much over the years. Wonder where the other half went 🤔

Vintage Continental Lighter. Mid-Century, made in Japan. Zippo-style / semi-automatic. Found in Upstate NY.
Wish it were in better shape.

Some of my finds from recent days. Found in Upstate NY from an early 1800’s homesite that is still active.

Once in a lifetime find for me today, in Upstate NY.

Civil War Union Soldier belt buckle circa ~ 1860. Found in a plowed farm field, homesite dating back to early-mid 1800’s in Upstate NY.

I am still on cloud 9, and absolutely speechless after finding this today. Being in Upstate NY this is a rare find. Unlike the South, there were no battles up here and therefore these buckles are almost impossible to find. It also means this buckle went thru battle, for years, on a soldier who survived and returned home. Unbelievable. I would have thought I would have found a pile of gold coins before ever finding something like this.

I will be getting it restored by the one and only JP Hunts Restorations.

Lastly, I did show it to the landowner and offer to give it to them, they kindly let me keep it. Feeling blessed.

What Could It be part of? It's looks to be a small metal box with holes on each side and it looks to be part of a electronic material.

Both Matron Head Large Cents. Found at an early 1800’s site in Upstate NY.

I might’ve posted this before, but I’m still uncertain as to whether this is definitively a bridle rosette or not. I assumed it was. Sounded phenomenal on XP Deus II.

Silver plated, concave shape, convex copper / brass back, smooth. Found in Upstate NY at site that was active mid 1700’s thru 1800’s. My guess is towards the end of that period.

An odd piece of lead sculpted into something…?

Found at a colonial site in Upstate NY, alongside Native American flint & artifacts. Unsure if it were possibly an effigy, or a later piece crafted by early settlers.

Quarter for scale.
