Park finds

[worldtalker]

Still waiting for my farmfield to be finished,it's right next to the park I've hunted for 4 years.
The key plate is copper,I got a deep +70-72,well,I dug and dug,at one point I almost gave up

till I saw the beaded edge as it was laying flat at the depth of my letche,took me well over 10 min.
to retrieve it,glad I didn't give up.Got a thimble and Musket ball too.


GOD Bless

Nice finds! Congrats!
Don't you just love the care and detail that went into everyday objects from the past? The craftsmanship can't be matched.
My last "large" copper wasn't quite that ornate...8" long 1/4" thick piece of old copper pipe, weighted about 5lbs!

Blaze,
The fields several of us have hunted for 3 years guys going in there early spring 4wheeling got a kabosh put on it from the farmers..NO MORE MDin,they'll call the cops to issue no trespassing tickets...CRAP.
There are fields all along the Ct. River going back to the early 1600's,guess I'll have to scope them out.
