Wow!!! I wish I had that kind of stamina. I'm sore just looking at all those finds. Awesome KG's!!! You have a great spot to hunt.
Thank You , Yes indeed ,some aches, only two pictures worth of digs ,not to bad ,I have a big shovel and in a remote place I can dig deep,fast & still keep the place the way I found it . Moist topsoil too. Thanks for your interest .
Any fellow Old School Fisher User is a friend of mine. Great finds you posted! The cannonball is first rate. The pocket watch is great, and of course the coppers are lovely too. What do you make of the oddly shaped brass piece in the first photo? Musket decoration?
Happy Hunting,
