Okay, the pottery expert confirms the pot shards are stoneware with a “slip” glaze that has eroded away. Age on stoneware is hard to determine. The best age range for these pieces is anytime in the 19th century.

Hello again another updated post on some finds from today from the 1700s site. I decided to start in a little mound under some roots of a tree where I saw some glass showing by the edge of the property and found some nice stuff. since it’s very close to a railroad I wasn’t surprised to find 2 neat insulators near where i was digging however I was surprised to find a 1905 dated dansk vestindien danish coin probably was something to do with the railroad but still such a cool find also this little bead which I don’t know if it’s old or newer.

That light olive green New Eng Tel & Tel insulator is a good find...probably the best thing you have shown. Nice find!
