I could almost feel her pain as they punched that hole in her head:BangHead::laughing7:. as a side note---FMERG got a seated dime that AGAIN --he thought was a small cent----very cruel Colonial dirt:BangHead::BangHead:this site is over & dun wit unless they do some more work & pull more of the overburden. back SOMEWHERE today before the thunder boomers arrive:dontknow::laughing7:

Some really sweet targets. I need a 2 center,, everybody except me are finding 2 and 3 centers. lol
Congrats on an excellent hunt. Sorry about all the Iron and "Hole in the Head LC"
I have had days like that, where I had to let the Etrac unmask the iron. Lots of work.

You know, there has to be a story untold as to why the coin was "holed"...won't ever know it, but i bet it was a great story. Congratulations on some great finds.

NICE "stuff"...! :icon_thumright:
That shell with the "H" on it. is probably a Henry .44 cal rimfire
and that Notched Copper disk thing, with two holes, is a noise-maker...!
Make it spin at high speed, stretched alternately with string, it'll make a loud hummmmm...!
A Toy...!!

that would make 2 this season---got a fake pewter LC with 4 holes at the 1723 house in July--gave it to the owner for being a great host as we dug his yard. the Henry--what time period--we are finding balls & pistol casings & .22 brass. today FMERG got a 2 Center and a wee teeny tiny dwarf brass thimble, I settled for 2 rounballs & 3 casings.
