A rare winter hunt with Spanish, W&M, and KGiii gaming tokens
It’s been quite a while since I’ve tuned into Tnet. I haven’t been out hunting due to working away, putting family first, and just life’s crap in general.
I decided to put some new life into an old site by digging out a pile resulting from a collapsed chimney. I’ve avoided it for quite a while but it was time to dig. Helping me were my two kiddos today. We had a great time, moved about a half ton of stone, and scored some keepers.
The first decent tone was turned out to be a 1/2 reale, 178X.
Then a few tokens popped out, after chasing some mid tones through the iron.
They seemed to be cast in a tin/lead alloy.
Some usually bits and bobs. And what I think to be a William and Mary 1/2 penny. Quite the patina
In all it was a fun day with the kids. It was in the high 20’s so the weather was cooperating.
Hopefully I’ll get out a bit more now that life has settled out again. I’ll be doing a trip in March with my detecting group Basstards of Bramble. Maybe there will be something to post then.
I’ve dug quite a lot of good stuff early in the winter including lots of state coppers I never posted. Maybe I’ll make a recap post on a down day.
Enjoy and good hunts,
Steve
