Turns out my curb strip hunting has paid off once again! I can't tell you how many folks will come up to me for a chat or to see what I've found, and many times it results in them saying, "hey, you should check out my house!". This was the case outside of an 1801 farmhouse with a HUGE front lawn, and a smaller home down the street:

And heres a Video of some of the stuff:



We got cut short after 2 hours at the first site, but Im looking forward to going back!

Good luck, and Happy Hunting!

Mike

WOW! Holy moly! What a day! What you've found many detectorists only dream about. Glad you posted as these are the type of finds that keep us all motivated. I hit a site 10 days ago and pulled 7 early coppers including a NJ and CT. It's what keeps you going. Nice finds!

Beautiful finds! LOVE the temperance token, such great shape with the nice gilding remaining. I also like the silver spoon. Is there a maker's mark on it? Looks to be late 1700s or early 1800s.

Yes, if you look one the pics the back of the spoon has a marking of "AGF" haven't been able to find anything on it tho
