My plans changed at the last minute and rather than a 2 hour drive to check out some new spots, I ended up with about 4 hours to go back to my latest honey hole.
I spent 50% of the time trying to recover that large deep signal I left last time (where the pipe bowl was eyeballed) and still could not get to it. This is going to either be a BIG brass/copper/pewter items or a big piece of flat iron...I am hoping to at least see what it is at some point. I did manage to eyeball another broken bottle and recovered the base...I think it is a matter of time before a whole one comes out. Visibility is horrible in the hole as I could not see 3" in front of my mask.
After breaking the coin streak last trip, I started a new one today with a worn, but there, 1696 (or 98) William III Halfpenny (TERTIVS). This is the third William III coin from this spot and it did make me a happy camper.
I ended up with a few more musket balls and found a hole FULL of small shot (probably over a thousand there) if I decide to get bored and recover them all it could make for an interesting display. I did manage a few more buttons (one of the rarer ones from this site, an 1800s variety), a cast 1600s nipple button and a standard flat.
I managed a broken piece to an early buckle and then the WHAT IS IT brass item. It is an odd shape and something I feel like I have seen before. It is obviously broken on one end, but the other is intentional (as it tapers down to a point) any help is appreciated (Cru
)
Other than that, I managed some modern sinkers, a grouping of early nails, and some misc lead sheathing and melted blobs.
