finally a hunt........

[Marc(NB)]

My trip to Dirtyvillewas great!! IRON PATCH certainly did find that virgin field as the finds were plentyfull and the coins are old!
Heres a group shot of my finds

Up first is an 1815 token,shes bend but I'll take it!

Heres an 1857 token

Cut coin,times were either hard or stuff was cheap to buy lol

MY first cartwheel coin(1797) and it had to be cut!

Knew I had an IH when I first looked at it but didnt know that it was what they call a fatty,a first for me !!

Dang it someone made a washer with this one, 1818 as far as I can see

This one Iam not sure what it is,all I see is a shadow of a bust was glad to dig it anyways.

Here are some bullets,crudely made if anyone can ID them ,it would be appreciated

Dug this whatsit at I think it may be part of a suspender buckle,any ideas??

Was told by it may be a merchant marine button ,circa WW1

THis one is a farthing 1799-18 something,its in bad condition but what the hay!

NOw the best of my hunt

French bale seal!!! Looks like 1755,if so it coinsides with the great Acadian deportation.Its my first french seal and Iam very proud of it!

To add to my exciting find is a 175? French 1 Sol coin!! Its also a first for me.

Well folks I had a blast hunting really old sites! I logged in 1400 km and enjoyed every minute of my adventure!!
Thanks for looking..HH

What a variety of coins in one hunt!. The french seal is beautiful, just that by itself would have been worth the trip. The cartwheel is on my wishlist, even if its cut, its still a cool find. So many comments, so little time......lets just say that i'd head out there for a hunt like that anytime!.

Nice finds Marc! The bale seal is great...and complete! I've only managed the inner part of a French bale seal so far. Coins are a bonus and the CANADA button is very cool!

The button was kind of unlucky... That day we dug about 50 old buttons and it was the newest and only military. A modern loss, but in the heart of the flat button mix.
