Went to a construction site I have been digging at lately, and had an above average after work hunt.
Most of the stuff found here has been from the early 1900s, but I have seen a lot of indian pottery chards laying on top.
The site is near where a local seafood factory used to sit that is on the 1914 Sanbornes.
I have really been hoping to find one of the factory tokens, but I have yet to be so fortunate.

We had a good rain Sunday night and it must have helped to expose a few surface finds.
Started out finding a shell button and a couple clay marbles on top.
Then a screaming signal that ended up being a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar.
Ended the hunt by eyeballing my first complete clay pipe bowl.
Todays finds. Dirty Silver Pic/Group shot.

Nice score on the Morgan and the pipe bowl.

"Most of the stuff found here has been from the early 1900s, but I have seen a lot of indian pottery chards laying on top."

Up and around here the Archies would have shut the site down and had the trowels and screens working.

I've never dug a silver dollar. That had to be a thrill.
