it's been such a long time
I haven't posted some finds in forever. I was out for a drive with my detector this afternoon and came upon a field yet to be sewn for the season. I took a walk around and quickly discovered an old colonial site!
I spent about two and a half hours digging and found a few goodies. Although the usual nit noids were few and far between, I did recover about twentyfive or so buttons( one was a domed pewter military button, kinda far gone, but I could still make out the garter in the design). A few coins were kicking around, mostly crusties, but they seemed to date from late 1700s to 18 teens. Best of the lot was a Spanish 8 marvedis 1797! The odd guy out was an 1860 something Indian head which was an obvious later drop. Also found a frame from a wax seal, sadly the stone or jewel was missing
It felt good to get out for a dig, hopefully I'll get another crack at this site when the crop is gone.
Ps, pics were taken with my iPod touch and aren't of great quality
