Got back out alone to the old mill this morning in the cold and rain to try and find that early silver
that has eluded my hunting buddy and me for the past four days.
Alas, it was not to be, but I managed one last copper,
a William III (oldest coin from the site) before the rain drove me off.
The bulk of the finds were found in a 40' x 60' mown lawn on the bank of an old mill stream,
just above the mill dam. Not many relics turned up with the coins, so it seems that people were
at the site to do business and the price of admission was about a ha'penny.
I found 29 coppers total, and my hunting buddy found 4.
I blame this discrepancy on a faulty machine.
Our totals look to include:
1 William III
1 George I Woods Hibernia
3 George I's
1 George II Irish
11 George II's
5 Connecticut
3 Counterfeit G III's (at least one probably a Machin's Mills)
5 Matron and Braided Hair LC's
3 Unidentified, all under weight, and probably G III's or state coppers
It was a joy to experience a site like this.
I hope all of you find one or two like it or better!
Thanks for looking, and HH,
Dwayne

Awesome Hunt ! I will get out tomorrow before she knows I am gone . 
? Get in the water.....maybe that was what it was, kind of a wishing well portion of the area.
