Hello TNetters!
So I went out detecting yesterday at a new spot with cousin Bob, where the day prior he had found an 1819 LC and an IHP, and it was also the site of an old barn. He picked me up at about 1:00, and we were on our way.
We each had a field to ourself, so we could cover alot of land and not interfere with eachother's patterns. So we start, and the finds were few and far inbetween. But I did manage to pull out what looks like a bell top (?), a hinge from the previously mentioned barn, a piece from a pocketknife, and this tag which reads CHESLUK -----FIELD MASS. When I found this, I instantly recognized the name, it being of a local farm/family, the daughter of which is in my biology class. But I wasn't sure, because their last name is spelled slightly differently today. So today in biology I showed it to her and she confirmed that it was spelled Chesluk a long time ago. She asked if she could have it to show her grandparents and whatnot, so I said sure, as long as I could have it one more day in order to make this post :P So she agreed, and tomorrow I will bring it in in a little plastic baggy along with the little piece that broke off which had the C in CHESLUK on it. We think it was a cow tag of sorts, and it was found on their cousin's land. (With Permission).
Bob managed to pull a thimble, some buttons, and a Wheatie today.
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!
