Hey everyone,
Hope you all are getting out in this great spring weather. Last week I went to my frequent hot spot to do some hunting. I had a nice 4 silver dime day plus a few others.
I was out hunting alone because it was a Friday and everyone was working or in school. Saturday night Lance my brother decides to come over.
I said we'll get up early and head back out to the area were I got the silver dimes. As soon as we get there Lance pulls 2 silver dimes. I said man I found 2 yesterday right in the same area.
We kept hunting and about a few hrs into the hunt I had nothing to show for really. Until all the sudden I make my way up onto a small bluff.
It had a few creeks below it and was a beautiful little nook. And Hit a lone some flat button. I said to Lance found a colonial button. Not thinking anything of it.
I kept on swinging. A few months back I found a flat button in the area also. Didn't think much of it at the time either. Sometimes you find just one here and there.
But then I find another. Then another and so forth. I knew then something was up. There were no pine tree's around to mark the site. No old stones or walls.
There had to have been a small cabin that sat right on this perfectly level land. I ended up pulling out 9 flat buttons. Lance got one himself.
I also hit a nice 1818 large cent. But the find for me was one I didn't know I had. It was my first 1803 drapped bust half cent. I thought when I dug it was a flat button with the shank missing.
It wasn't until I got home and seen the words liberty at the top. Then I knew I had something. We worked the area for a few hrs. Crazy thing was there was no trash or relics.
Everything was a coin or a button. Found one nice large musket ball. And a really nice old charm with a runner on it. Lance found a barber and a merc there.
But other than that it was really quiet. The area was known to have settlers as far back as 1760. I think I hit one of there hidden cabin sites in the woods.
I usually have to look at old maps to find sites like these. I just happen to come across one by accident. The detector let me know of the age of the area.
I will be back soon. I don't think there is much left though. Like I said it was virtually hitless. Only hits were keepers. But you never know what you can miss.
Hope you all like the pics
