Hello Everyone!

It's been a while since I posted -- between becoming a dad and going self-employed this year my time is limited lately. It's tough enough finding time to hunt, let alone post my finds! Luckily I do get out, and have been doing pretty well so far this year.

The other day I hit one of my regular colonial spots, which is definitely a cool-weather spot (tick infested in summer), so I figured I'd give it one last go. It turned into yet another one of those "like a different spot" stories. I focused on a 50x50 patch of woods I'd hunted many times before, yet still managed to have the best day I've ever had at this particular location. Here's the inventory:

  • 1786 1 Reale
  • No-date English Halfpenny (looks like a Charles II, c. 1740s-1750s)
  • No-date Shield Nickel (My first!!!!)
  • Two IHs: One 1902 and one no-date
  • Large silver dollar-sized copper/bronze token -- For corset manufacturer Birdsey - Somers Co. (1890s-early 1900s)
  • Early 1800s U.S. Navy Button -- Backmark is UK maker Wallis, model No. 2
  • Two more buttons, one flat, another with a round, two-circle design
  • Two ladies garter clips (found near the corset token)

It'll be my last time hitting that place until late next fall, so this was a great way to go out!

Cheers and HH,
Brendan
