Cascadianshadow and I made a few trips to where I found the Barber quarter and the NY Militia button. Our last trip there when I found the NY button and a couple bullets, Cascadianshadow found a Sweet spill of Gardiners himself. Total there were seven bullets all found in a couple plugs touching each other. Only 6 were in picture though.
The next two hunts were me solo and short hunts. First one I started about a half hour before dark and first decent find was at dark with 3 Gardiners in the same hole.
Next day I spent about 2 hours only finding one more Gardiners, a lead Indian figurine and a British cross.
The cross was British made WWI-WWII "to Helment der Kaiser" To Hell With The Kaiser.

Very well done DS. The lead is killer, but that cross is the prize in my mind!

Very nice variety.
Those tent rope tensioners are always a good indication of the area being used as a campsite.
Cool Cross.
Congrats

There's a patch of woods behind this site that was supposedly a camp site. It's really rocky so trying to dig holes is all but, impossible. Also really trashy from the near by houses.

Deershed the lead Indian, bullets, tent rope tensioner and the British cross are great saves.
Anyone of your finds would've made my day. Congrats! TM
