Oyster shells tell

[diggerranger]

Was walking through woods and saw area covered in oyster shells. Noticed a chunk of brick. Grabbed my detector and wow. Only had a hour so I’ll be back.

Wow! What are the other finds beside the watch winder and Dandy button (the ones on the right of the photo)?

The watch winder is a sweet find too. That spots bound to have some goodies lucking about.

Best of luck to you!

Oyster shells are good signs of trash pits. I would probe it for bottles

Very exciting to come upon a site like that.
Do you try to cover everything up before you leave?
Congratulations on your finds.

Quick q-tip clean. I’m guessing late 1700’s site. No back marks.Any ideas? Thanks for reply’s

Oyster shells are 1 of the indicators for a Roman or Medieval site in the UK, so I always pay attention to them - good spot!

Way to keep your eyes out!

I would certainly be getting the sifter out after detecting that spot. May be a nice early pit. I dug out a 17th Century pit last year and it was maybe the most fun I’ve had recovering early treasure. Even a few coins in this particular spot. I’d be excited about that spot my friend

Oh yeah, I can easily see a Spanish reale or an early copper from that site. Lucky you!
