Great digs Dave - awesome Ct cuff button - just dug a Maine one here the other day! Love the dragon button especially as well as the two little ones... Also, in your bottom right picture of all the finds, the object in the top right above the crotal bell piece is the top from an old traveling inkwell. I have attached a photo of another - different design, but you'll get the idea. Great variety, great digs! Cheers, BB

All of my great woods sites are absolutely mosquito infested jungles right now... It's like the Temple of Doom every time I go out... I should actually buy a machete...

Even with bug repelant Iam still getting bitten by Mosquitos , all the rain we had has made it almost impossible to hunt for more than an hours or so !!

I hear that. Right now, a mosquito headnet is essential detecting gear as far as I'm concerned - I wouldn't even bother going out without one. And I'm in the woods, so I don't have to worry about looking goofy...

Love the finds Dave! That O thing to me could either be a scabbard tip or perhaps a tip for a coin slot :?:

thanks! I beg to differ on your inkwell theory.the 2 items at each top corner are the same.it's some type of pitcher spout as is has a beveled spout to poor lquid from and in each one is threads to screw onto something.I appreciate your opinion though & i may be wrong.
