Kingston, New York 1600's Farm Field Hunt
My buddy Joe drove in from Long Island, then I drove the next 90-miles upstate to meet our host Frank (FMERG). We hunted a farm dating back to the 1600s, that has given up Spanish silver, British coppers, and a very rare New York Militia belt plate so my hopes were very high.
We detected from 9:30am - 3:30pm in three newly plowed and disked fields. Joe found a flat button (a first for him), Frank pulled some Indian heads, musket balls, and a large copper, and I got a 1899 V nickel and my first intact sleigh bell. I got to meet Frank's hunting partner Rich, who pulled a Shield nickel, a British copper, and http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ay-four-farm-field-fishermen.html#post4947210
Rich is the man that found the militia buckle.
Frank presented me with a rare gift (see last photo), that really moved me. No Spanish silver for today, but great buddies and clear blue skies made it a great day!
