Awesome new colonial permission

[RelicMedic]

Hey folks. I scored permission on a huge 50 acre farm with a house and older cellar on it. The house was built in the late 1700s or very early 1800s. The cellar is what I believe to be the starter home from when the family first arrived in the 1770s. Only a small percentage of the site is mowed, so I'm waiting patiently for the owner to do the rest. I did manage to pluck out some decent finds though!

Colonial knee Buckle


Connecticut copper (bucket lister)


Some blank coppers, 1884 Canadian and an Indian Head


Silver dime



Hull Yorkshire Half Penny



14k white gold ring (1950s)



Colonial dandy button that I thought was a GW at first!

Fantastic! What a wonderful site, and what a terrific job you did pulling some gems from it!

We just got permission on another 100 acre farm just down the road. Confirmed 1770s but the house burnt down several years ago. The only catch is, we have to wait until the owner returns next summer.

That looks like you've got one heck of a great site on your hands- clean that baby out- GL!!

You got yourself a great permission there, can’t wait to see what else
you find there.

Congrats on the great finds! Sounds like you are in for some great treasures ahead if this is just a sampling from a small area! I'd say it was a great success on your part!!! I'm looking forward to you finding some Spanish silver! Good luck!

Check the obverse of that 1884 cent. If the N in Reginal has an overly large foot then it is a type 1 obverse and you are into some money there.
