Some Research Helped

[steelheadwill]

I got to Searching through old maps online, discovered that there was a shipyard, warehouse, and later a railroad spur at a site I had given a short search before.
Was driving by on my way to a job and decided to stop 'For a minute'
Ended up giving it a half hour.
I first looked the site over, thinking Where would the coins be lost??
I decided to concentrate on the landward edge of the docks.
All the years of activity here, I know theres lots more than the late seated dime I found.
the condition of the tombac is amazing, 200 years or so, still shiny with a strong shank.

Got an invite later in the afternoon to search a 1720s house teardown.
the cellar has had all the dirt removed
Found just 2 lamp burners, & a wheat cent & other junk, left for owner.
Wish I had my Etrac, the site needs TTF.
thanks for Looking! HH all

I'd be back there tomorrow Herbie as that site has great potential. You are hell on spoons and burners Bud. HH, Quindy.

Great finds today Herbie!

The 1720's property sounds like there are more treasures yet to be found!
The old dockyard site looks very promising!
I wonder what finds are hidden under these dock boards?

Take care buddy,
Dave

Thanks All!
Dawg, I think you got the money on that ID
This place saw a lot of activity, I am now just cleaning the junk from the surface,
Finds all dating around turn of the century.
Older stuff beneath I am sure..
