Met up with Sentinel for a quick 2 day tour of some of his hotspots. !st day we got a late start because of bad rain, but I managed to find the eagle A cuff! He took me to some amazing spots that wreak of history! Josh also stumbled across a sweet dig the 1st day! The 2nd day was a beauty and the relics were ripe for the picking! My first dig was this sweet early Bank of Upper Canada Half Penny Bank Token! NEver found anything like that ever! It wasnt long and the bullets started turning up from the ground. I managed a few .69 cal round balls some .58 minis and a few BIG BOY .69 cal minis! A found some good GS eagle coats and then a nice green and gold disc rolled up from the depths and showed its self for the first time in nearly 200 years! It was a sweet 1812 Navy Coat button with some good gilt remaining! This is my 1st 1812 button and I couldnt be happier! Josh found a great find this day as well!!!! BUt youll have to wait to see this one!

Maybe I can give you a sneak peak....

Josh thanks my friend and until next time!

James

Even though the rain got us off to a late start we ended up diggin' some great stuff both days and had a blast doing it!! :occasion14: Congrats again on that Awesome War of 1812 era Navy, that really is one of the nicest I've seen dug with all that Gold still remaining and a Beautiful Green Eagle "A", not to mention the Copper and all the other relics! You did really well man and and are welcome down ANYTIME you ever want to come down and hunt brutha! :wink: :icon_thumleft: I'll be seeing you in a few weeks, when I come up, I'll bring about 10 thousand pesos for lunch...:laughing9: :laughing9: See ya man :occasion14:
