After waiting for the snow to get low enough to go slogging through the woods, finally got out and hit the dirt. Pulled out a nice front barrel band for a rifle-musket. I'm guessing Enfield vs Springfield, but will wait for the electrolysis. Also a nice early large silver that is in surprising shape. A few CW bullets that I didn't bother taking pics of, and the usual haul of modern bullets and shotgun brass. This is the third earliest dated coin Ive found, so I was pretty happy about it.

Nice! Looks like to me the half has some type of signature scratched on it or am I seeing things?

I figured they were just scratches on it. Could have been someones personal good luck touches though !
