I lined up this property about a month ago, but wasn't able to hit it until today. With the temps here in NC today going to reach 95 degrees I put on my ShamWow underwear and bug spray and headed out. I started out in the front yard and quickly realized there were not the old coins I was hoping for. My oldest coins today were three 1940's wheat pennies.
I did dig up what looks to be an old lead dice in the front yard. I don't see any dots indented like dice have, but there are grid like markings on some of the sides scratched in.
The back yard turned up most of the older finds including a CW era North Carolina state seal button (23mm) with a fairly rare "S.A. Myers / Richmond Va." back mark. It is listed as NC 8a in Albert's button book.
Another unusual find was the extra large parasol (umbrella) piece. Normally the ones we find are a lot smaller. This one may have been from a large sun umbrella?
Other finds include: lantern pieces, pocketknife, pottery shards, harmonica reed, and hem weight.
It was hot but finding the NC button made it all worth it. Only one tick on me today too.
Thanks for looking Folks,
MM
