I had to work today until noon After work I headed back up to the orchard with the newly remodeled 705. I just got the 10"DD coil Not a real productive hunt, a couple of buckles and what I think is a spent flat button missing the back shank. I got to visit for a while with the owner and he told me of two possible spots on his property that had the original cabin. 1785 seems to be the date that the spot was claimed.
I had to go home and did not think that I would be able to go back this afternoon because of chores, firewood, etc, etc. I guess that I was bugging the MRS. with all of the jabber about when I would be able get back out because she gave me permission to go back
I wish that I brought the camera with me..... Small hay field, maybe one acre. This field is for sure the original spot. Brick pieces in every shovel, glass, pottery
45 min. hunt gave me 7 buttons (2 tombac) 1822 Coronet Large Cent, a nice pewter spoon that I MURDERED I choped it twice with the shovel
I cant wait to go back and actually take my time. Tonight I just kinda' walked arround at random checking out the field.
This is a pretty long post for me so how about some pics.
