Like the title says, I spent 1.5 hours at the abandoned house that was built in 1890. The owner thinks there was an older foundation there as well, and I have to agree with him. These are the keepers:
1812 half penny
1811-1813 Field Marshall Wellington token (large leaf, not date variety)
1882 Vicky LC
Navy cuff button...maybe 1812ish
Took video, but my video software crashed. I'll get the video up eventually.

***This hunt actually took place a week ago. Just posting it now *****










Also found this Evans Roller Bearing lighter 1925-1934 on a hunt that same week

Good condition on the tokens.
Yeah, nice looking place.
Probably worth a couple more hours there.

I love that token! I'd hunt that spot until I got sick of swinging at no targets.

Sweet finds. An 1880's coin out west here is a whoop-de-doo find. And you boys back east likely yawn at that stuff, lol.

I don't think we would yawn at it lol. We are blessed with colonial settlements, and if you're lucky, french settlements. The old stuff turns up in the weirdest places though. I know of hammered silver found in BC, for example. You just never know!

Thanks Steve. I originally thought 1812ish, but someone thought maybe a little later. It's my first OLD military /navy button, so I'm a little partial to it :laughing7:
