Well not quite July weather...but gotta love this high 40's for this time of year and being able to get out without digging thru frost.... 
Hit an old foundation I've gone over a few times in the past, went on the other side of a stone wall on the property that I was saving for Spring due to what I thought would be lack of time and weather to hit this year. Found 2 large cents, one 1837, the other 1848 also found a 1934 Merc, a silvery drawer pull? Also found a couple of musket balls, not sure if they are colonial or modern (Anyone know how to date these things??) There were frequent Indian attacks on this island and other islands back in colonial times so they could be from that era, but could also be modern muzzleloader loads, they look to me to be about .50 caliber?
Weather sounds good for the rest of the week so should have some more bonus detecting time....
