HEY GUYS AND GALS

Haven,t been out much last 3 weeks ....fishing season is keeping me busy and always seems to be something happening when I get a day off.

So we made it out today back to the spot where I found the Cartridge Plate.

There was bear shiat everywhere and the mosquios and black flies were terrible.But we stayed for 2 hours....ED found the Canadian 25 cent silver and I got the coppers and heel plate...also the nice religous pendant was kinda nice.

However.... none of them items points to the time period of the Cartridge Plate... kind of a mystery.

The COB ?? Cousin ED found came from a different site a few days before when he made it out by himself.... we had found a couple buttons and a Spanish 1742 coin in this area a few weeks before.

We have never seen a COB before ..... but is the only thing I could think of it being...or a cut Spanish ?

The intertwined snakes he found close to his house which is old.

Winter, summer.....you guys dig the good stuff year 'round! I guess now you have something to shoot for! What were those snakes used for? They are very ornate. I am sure they had some practical purpose.

That's definitely a clipped 17th century cob. I have a few that are quite irregular in shape like Ed's, and they're fairly common finds down this way. You can see some similar ones that I've dug in the pic below.
