:hello:

I met up with J.B (James Bibb) in Virgina yesterday , at yet another beautiful plantation home. The weather was awesome, and the plantation was a site to see. With a full working crew still, they could be seen scurrying about throughout the day, doing their chores, much similar to what it must have been like in the 1700's . We dug several 1800's buttons and coins, James dug another Copper and a nice Barber quarter.
Thanks again James, I had a great time!

Love those crude early cabins. I guess those were the slave quarters? Nice finds too. There ought to be some cut Spanish silver lurking there somewhere.

Nice finds and pretty pictures. That Star button looks familiar as I dug one very similar to it last spring. The property is a beautiful place to dig :icon_thumleft: :wink:
