No photos unfortunately, I gave my find of the day to the homeowner.
I had the day off yesterday, and wanted to do some metal detecting now that the ground was soft. When I was driving I noticed a nice house in a town center, built in 1740 according to the plaque on it. I knocked on the door and the homeowner was more than happy to let me metal detect there. I tried there for half an hour before I had to leave to pick up someone, but in that time made a couple cool finds. My weirdest find was the first thing I dug. I noticed what looked like bent silver flatware in the hole, went to clean it off. Then I noticed that there were a couple white/pink things attached to it. I found myself looking at a row of realistic teeth, attached to a strip of silver. I showed it to the homeowner, and told her she could have them. Looking back, I regret not at least getting a photo, but what's done is done. A minute later, and less than an inch deep, I found a beautiful 1886 Indian Head Cent. Apparently the place was a tavern in the 1700's, and had a lot of foot traffic over the years. I hope to go back sometime soon when I am back in the area and see if I can find anything more.
