    Nice finds. I think the fish is the top of a Cod Weathervane. Pretty common on the cape.

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  День тому

      Totally! They’re mirror images of each other, so that was our top guess.

    Could the fish be both halves of a weather vane?? I hope so because it would be the coolest one ever!

    • @dirtfishermatt22
      @dirtfishermatt22 3 дні тому +3

      We were thinking weather vane. where both pieces were found was near the home,so maybe. They stayed behind with the homeowner.

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  День тому +1

      We were definitely thinking weathervane as Matt said - the fact that they were mirror images of eachother and had a slot in the bottom helped us (somewhat) confirm it, hah!

    The fish thing could be from an old Wind Vane or Weather Vane. It points in the direction the wind is blowing, If I'm correct. Happy Hunting!

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  День тому

      I think you’re right! We figured it might be part of a weathervane considering the fish were mirror images of each other. Pretty cool!

      @ I know, it’s been getting tough to find good sites! Connecticut is easily one of the most competitive states in the country - almost every door I’ve ever knocked on has been hit before, or it’s a “no” (even when it’s just me knocking). Nice to get away from this state sometimes, hah!

      @StefDigs yes absolutely hear that! I got a virgin cellar hole about a month and a half ago. Been hitting it just about weekly since and just got the first silver from there Tuesday! I've had quite a few people there too. 1773 half reale, right in front of the cellar hole where we have all walked a ton and have found buttons and stuff right there. So crazy!

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  День тому

      Dandy buttons are generally 1770-1800, pretty much what you mentioned. However, gilded buttons without a backmark can go back as far as the late 1700s. The one I found in this video with a backmark is almost certainly about 1810-1840 at the very latest. Lots of resources available for dating buttons.
