Managed to get out two times this week-end despite the unusually hot and humid weather for this time of year. Decided to explore an other area at my newest permission and I believe the time spent was well worth it.
My best find of the week-end was my biggest and best preserved Fur Trade axe. Discovered it hidden deep in a large pile of rocks which shielded it from the contact with the humid soil, thus the very little accumulation of rust. Makes me wonder who put it there and why he never managed to recover it around 250 years ago.
The rest of my hunts where pretty uneventful with no old relics other than a late 1700's Hibernia halfpenny that someone made into a button. I did stumble upon a not so old hunting camp of some sort and recover a good number of early to mid 1900's coins with a good amount of silver.
As well as a silver religious pendant.
Very happy with that Trade axe as they are pretty rare where I'm at,especially in this condition.
Thanks for the comments.
