Items from Alamance

Posted Nov 23, 2009, 07:12:55 am

Found these while on a group hunt at a spot close to Alamance Battlefield-specifically the Battle of Clapps Mill. Also found was a button that was identified as Colonial by one of the members of the hunt that is an Archaeologist for the State (button pictured).
Any help on ID's greatly appreciated and thanks for looking!!

I would guess hardy tool or bucket tooth for the piece in the middle.

Hey Mike,
Sorry I couldn't make it out with y'all but, we will hunt soon.
The artifact in the center I'm told is part of a lumberjack tool called a bark spud.

The Bark spud, (also known as a Peeling Iron, Peeling Spud, or abbreviated to Spud) is an implement which is used to remove bark from felled timber.
