This picture I feel is not a "self explanatory" one...
So...
This is a picture of the "seal" of Tuts tomb prior to removal.

Great thread bud. I just bought a new Nikon camera and ordered a macro lens today. So hopefully soon I will have some decent pics. Until then here's a few of my faves.
My best buddy Jada

This closeup of my tree coin was taken by a buddy of mine who is a professional photographer. I think its really cool. I just ordered the same lens that he shot this with. Hoping I can get detail like that

Same one I found. Super close up. Let me add this other pic you guys might like. My buddy is a major lobster dealer and once in awhile a genetic oddity will come up in a trap. This is a blue lobster

Here's another of the tree coin on the Whitman book. I wish mine had no hole. Maybe next one will be whole and more rare. But I ain't complaining. Blessed to dig in such old dirt

Believe this one or not...
This is a "baby fresh air cage"...

For hanging out of high rise windows so that babies can "be outside".

Heh... about as good as an idea as the yard game Jarts.

You (are) blessed digging in such dirt!
The coinage is different out West, because of two reasons -newer HISTORY; and POPULATION, where cities are still spread out, where
back East, with the beginning explorers, then Colonies, then tightly-packed-cities (relatively), where
coins would fall a-plenty, over a longer time - allowing for some FANTASTIC finds, such as yours!

Yes it certainly is a different ballgame here. My area is a bit different than say Boston or Philly in a couple ways. We had settlement here as early as 1607. We had a couple of small 17th century settlements that lasted a few decades....but the big difference is that The cities had permanent settlement and wealthier settlers as a whole. My area basically was wiped out completely every 10-30 years by the natives. When I say wiped out I mean every single house burned down and every settler moving away. This happened from the late 1600s continuously through the end of the 1700s. So these old home sites were often only occupied a few years. The other big difference is that a high percentage of the settlers in my area were not wealthy. Most were Scottish or Irish and were poor. They came here believing it could not be worse than the hones they were leaving behind. I had several ancestors come here in the 17th and 18th century looking for a new start.
So where my friend George in Philly or Bill in Va may find a ton of Spanish silvers or early American silvers. I may get lucky and find one or two Mass silvers in my detecting career and a few dozen Spanish. We just have incredible early sites here but much less quantity of coinage. And overall likely less quality of finds. Every area has its positive and negative aspects. Our weather sucks for 4 months of the year. But in Maine we still have a ton of area that hasn't been developed. It's really something to stand on a site that's been virtually unchanged for 400 years.
I hope you find a pile of gold out there

We lost Roxy not long ago. Staffie/pit mix.
She had the best personality, strength, temperament of any dog I have ever owned. Very protective of my wife and daughter.

I am so sorry to hear that. I absolutely love and adore my dog. Animals in general I should say. I can't imagine not coming home every day to Jada. Sadly I could do without seeing or dealing with people on a daily basis. The loyalty and compassion of a dog is truly an amazing thing. Especially a pit. I often have to travel for weeks at a time for work and love knowing she is home with the lady. She is very protective of her. I hope you find another companion my friend. Cherish the memories you have with Roxy. I know it sucks losing your best friend but all of those years with them certainly outweighs that hurt
