A nice day out at a colonial Foundation

[Scrappy]

Update: possible Woods Hibernia? It looks good

I hit a nice seemingly virgin foundation today with EastCoastHunter21. The conditions were atrocious being 34 degrees, 30 knot winds and pouring rain, but some nice signals were there. I believe I found a Connecticut copper, 1787.

An 1838 large cent, another thin crusty cooper, and some Indians including an 1875. Most of the copper was badly Roached...



My favourite find was an decorative orange gilt ornamental. and an open ended early thimble.

Some wagon parts and huge reed made up the day.




Also a shoe buckle with the innards with the leather attached...

Also a late addition.

Little girls boot heel?



Anyway, a successful hunt with part of my crew, The Basstards of Bramble.

Enjoy and Good digs

Steve

What a blast! How nice to dig in such an old spot!

Heck of a hunt man, I believe I would hunt in a hurricane to find a lot of nice stuff like that. wtg. Would be heading back directly.

Hey thanks for taking a look. In a believer that in both fishing and metal detecting, the nice big ones come out in the crappiest weather.

Well done Scrappy. You and Eastcoasthunter21 are on a hot spot. Hope you guys get back under better weather conditions.
Congrats

I think Bartek and Charlie are there today. Sunny, no wind, 50's. The polar opposite of Monday's weather.

Coppers ...shoe buckle ..that's my kind of hunt...great finds.... congrats

No complaints. We know there's a lot more there. But most of the area is covered by broken trees and bramble. We'll need to do some clearing which I think is worth the time.

Nice finds buddy, hard core wet hunting, cold too I bet? Good work!

Sweatpants wouldn't have cut it yesterday! Lol

Amazing stuff Scrappy! Some crazy conditions for hunting but we'd all brave those conditions for finds like that. That's what makes us different from everyone else. We treasure hunters are a strange breed. Best of luck on the return hunt. Sounds like a place like that could produce a lot more.

I agree completely Evo. Taking part of a day off in a wet freezing Nor'easter just to find wagon parts and crusty coppers could get you committed to an asylum in some Countries...lol

Thanks Tom. I have some great 1700's and 1700's foundation spots ready for you and Smittymans trip up. Looking forward brother!

Awesome finds Steve. You sure found quite a few relics. Love the Conn. copper. I have yet to dig 2 LCs in a single hunt. Congrats on the successful hunt.

Thanks for looking Kevin. It was a good time. There was more finds such as d-buckles, hinges, and the nameplate to the house, but I couldn't clean them in time.

It was a difficult hunt buddy but when that colonial bait is dangling in front of you. Rain or shine! Lol

Hey thanks for looking. That boot heal is definitely an interesting piece. I've never seen one that small

awesome site! never seen leather on a shoe buckle yet either.congrats!

We've been finding a lot of leather. The copper is in worse shape than the leather here! Lol. But I agree, I've never seen any leather on a buckle. Broken strap?
