3 days at new site yields Spanish, Big Seated, 1812 Regimental Script I Pewter & More

Scored a new site earlier this week and have been hunting for 3 days straight til dark after I get off from work in the afternoon.
The finds were coming in good the first 2 days, and then yesterday things slowed down a little.
Taking a break this afternoon, due to the rains, and I need to spend a little time at home. Going back out tomorrow morning.
Saw the eagle on the back of that Ike and thought I had a Morgan for a moment.

This big seated was a nice surprise. Screaming signal I thought for sure was a aluminum can. 1877 half Dollar..

And an even bigger surprise was the Charles II Half Real, although I had a suspicion I was in the right area to possibly dig one. 1660-1700.

My first ever Pewter flat button just happened to be a US Script I Regimental 1812 era. I'm really excited about this guy. 20mm. Sealed with Elmers.

Yesterday was kind of slow but I did dig this very slick copper, that I suspect might be of early 18th century French descent. 20.2mm. Would love to get an ID.

Nice flat button, cufflink, and Indians.

This piece of pottery looks old. I'm guessing early 18th century. Any suggestions.?

Very Large brass Square nail/Spike, and what might be a decorated part of a early musket trigger guard. Suggestions?

Dug a bunch of melted lead, but these pieces were some of the most interesting lead pieces. Musketballs and cut and punched lead.
Dug a lot of rimfire rounds, but this one looks like those early shotgun shells with the piece sticking off the side.

I haven't been on a site this productive in quite a while. Hopefully the good stuff keeps rolling in.
Also dug lots of wheat pennies and nickels, but they didn't make the cut.
Enjoy.

Excellent digging. Sites like that are a blast the first couple of hunts but if you continue to put in the time you'll pop something sweet once in awhile Good luck

Must of been somebody that had a few bucks to their name to loose the quality finds like that. Congrats on the recoveries from the site and the best of luck on the return hunts.

[gwdigger]

You keep it up and I'll nickname you the cob master. You got like 8 or more now right?

Thanks DS. I wanted to go, but it has been raining cats and dogs. And I had to make a little time for the old ball and chain.
Probably get back out there in the a.m. Hoping the rain/saturation might be just what I need.

Thanks Muerte. It has been a nice run for sure. Sites/Permissions like this don't come along that often for me.

Thanks Toasted. Yesterday was nothing compared to the first two days. I'm definitely not giving up yet.

Thanks pepper. I agree. Most old sites I get half dimes or half reals. This area had lots of activity throughout the years.

Nice finds! I like the variety of coins and other goodies you found! Great job.HH

Thanks Coil.

You keep it up and I'll nickname you the cob master. You got like 8 or more now right?

Thanks GW. My digging buddy used to call me the Cob Snob. This makes #10, but I haven't dug one in a long time. I was thinkin about you and that big 8 yesterday, and how it sure would be nice to find one larger than a 1/2R.

Awesome finds! Congratulations!

 

[Wannabe Treasure Hunter]

Way to Go!!! That is a great permission, hope the finds get even better...

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Fantastic relic and coin hunt, congratulations!

 

[Z.K.]

Thanks for a great post! Yours and a few other ones this week have kept me vicariously satisfied after not being able to get out for a couple of weeks. Those finds would make many people's year, congrats!

PS- I know the cob is for scale on those last pics, but I kind of like how it ends up photobombing and getting the glory (it deserves it)

 

[testing123]

wow, great bunch of finds!!

that button looks similar to one I found recently - it was a War of 1812 Infantry button I believe. A good place for you to start looking.

 

[dirtlooter]

that's a Holy Cow for sure! congrats on the super finds, just can't imagine it

 

[Gridwalker306]

My goodness...now THAT'S the kind of digging we are all hoping for. Congrats on the top notch finds. Hopefully that spot will keep producing for you.

 

[Kurios1]

Sheesh! I can only dream of spots like that. Nice recoveries mate. Has to be more where those beauties came from. I gotta' take me a road trip east some day.

 

[CRUSADER]

Lots to like there.

 

[trapperart]
