So after a boat ride, and a hike through bramble and swamp, I reached my site. I heavily researched the site, but you never quite know the conditions until you see it with your own eyes. Hunting was tough with a mix of tall grass and thorns, and woods. The site was the home of a fisherman from the 1760's to about 1850.
The trip:
Finds were sparse but I managed a few keepers.
The sandy soil made for some nicely preserved finds. Once I get home I'll properly clean the LC.
The holed lead pieces are old net weights
.
The reverse is beautiful!
And my favourite find, an early sinker.
Overall it was a good hunt. I was hoping for some early coinage since the area had whaling use dating back to about 1650, but maybe next time.
Enjoy and good hunts
