Had some great relic hunters at my place this weekend. Among other things they found a Colonial buckle and button, harmonica reed, an old felling axe and a adz as well as square nails, horse shoes and unidentified stuff. The problem is we know that in 1781 Lafayette was here, in 63/64 the 8th Alabama were here, it was a plantation, and since the war has been a working farm. Is there any way to tell how long this stuff has been in the ground? Did one of Lafayette's pioneers drop the axe or did some guy drop it in 1937?
