14 Copper and multi silver hunt at PA cabin site

[BzyBee]

An exciting hunt from last week. Took a friend
to the cabin site Ive been working on and we got into a hotspot that ended up giving a total of 14 coppers and a half real along with some good relics including scribed silver cuff link. The coppers gave us 3 firsts with a Vermont Copper, Liberty Cap thick planchet, and an Irish KG2. Everything was in a 6x10 area and very deep for the most part.

That was an amazing concentration you guys got into. Congrats on the beautiful half real and the copper firsts.

Wow! That sounds like an amazing site. Great finds!

It's not often a colonial hunt nets more coins than buttons, but you obviously made that happen. Outstanding finds!!

Incredible hunt! That silver cufflink is awesome. 6x10 foot area... That's small enough to go back and excavate the whole section down to the clay layer. I bet there is more masked down there. Great job

Indeed we had to remove the top 6" just to get a signal on most of those coins. ( That was initiated by John digging a duo of very deep coppers close together ) It was terribly exciting to clear a section and scan it.

Bill would you believe the totals at this site are to the tune of 46 copper/5 silver coins to about 70-80 buttons??! Its unreal, and we are digging the low numbers.

Brad, Jim invited a couple of us, along with my sifter, to do just that this past Sunday. Unfortunately, the sifter didn't reveal much....other than some broken ceramic shards.

That must of been a blast! Nothing like clearing some dirt out and producing a sweet tone... gets the blood pumping. Looking forward to seeing what else turns up there. Sounds like a dream site.

Man, that's a crazy ratio, but one that I'm sure you're not complaining about. Hope you can keep pulling stuff outta there.

Nice Job!

That's what I was thinking Brad. Dig and sift...

Hi; you may have found where the Occupants stashed their cash. AWESOME finds. Congrats. PEACE:RONB

That's one heck of a site. Are you sure it was just a cabin and not a tavern or something? How do you even track down a cabin site that old from what I assume was a hand-drawn old map?

Jeff - Indeed could have been some type of establishment. It was honestly a hunch based on the terrain and trace of an old wagon road in the area. I haven't seen the exact spot indicated on any of my maps, which would account for the virginity of the place. *POP!*

 

[Carolina Tom]

Wow, that is incredible. I do not recall seeing that many in one day.

Congrats on a spectacular hunt!

Great results stripping 6 inches of soil .
Very interesting obverse side of the Vermon Auctori , that one could be worth $ ...
interested in seeing more stuff from that dream site.
