4 coppers, two silvers - 1786 and 1894

[Hunthicks]

Got out again for the first time in a couple weeks, debated whether or not to try the field I got the spanish in last time out, but decided to stop by one farmers place and see if I could get onto a couple more fields. I was searching for old french but the fields I really wanted weren't on the to do list. I picked one alloted field that looked good and even though it was loaded with iron only pulled out a buckle, earring, spoon handle stamped THO MAS and what might be a button with a spiderweb type design.
Next I hit the second field he gave me the ok for and with about an hour or so to go I hit a site. Musketballs, buttons(a couple tiny pewters) and 6 coins! Also a little whatnot with a crown shape on it. If I can get a decent pic I'll post it in the ID section of the forum.

There's 2 crusty coppers to the left, two George III coppers, an 1894 US dime and a 1786 Spanish 1 reale. Turned out well, spanish two hunts in a row is a first for me!

Here ya go Pretty sure that's what's left of where the shank attached, but I'm often wrong!

Great hunt, hunthicks! Those KGs look like they are decent for identifying. I would take them in a blink of a Colonial eye. The Spanish silver is what sets you high on the Colonial digger list.

This spring has been flying by for me as well with the back and forth living arrangements. I think I got lucky on finding this site, I was expecting older, but I'm surely not going to complain! Let me know if you wanna get out, I have some ideas(Better than usual I'd say). I'll be back up your way for a couple more weeks after the weekend.

[Iron Patch]

I think it was your turn, and you took our finds from today as well! Get a few more days like that and we will see something killler!

 

[terpfan]

You are really tearin' it up with those great colonial finds! I hope you extend your spanish silver streak to three hunts in a row.

 

[mainer]

What a day you had. Should be some more great finds there. Best of luck on a return trip.

 

[Hunthicks]

I'm sure there's more goodies on this site - and I pretty much confirmed there's an older site somewhere on the property. I'm hoping something really nice is right around this corner.
Now if this cold and rain will give up - gave me an excuse to go catch some trout anyways.
