Hi All,
No real goodies from the old site, surprising because I see ash layers and pottery shards 4 feet down on the sides of the hole.
figured I'd at least get a pine tree shilling
The most interesting is the copper spoon, paper thin fiddlehead with brazed connection, and what appears to be a casting line on the back. (how you could cast a piece this thin is a mystery to me) I include a photo of another copper spoon I have for comparison.
Also, 2 flat buttons, 'Warranted Orange' and 'Extra Colour Gilt'
A copper box label, 'Gillette No 10 Stropping'
The site is less than 500 feet from the sea, and the finds show much deterioration.
May have another chance to search here before the new foundation is poured.
I've gone out three times looking for the little chimney puffing smoke far off the road on an 1870 'Birdseye' map, I found it today
I had passed within 100 feet of it both other times.. 2 wells located nearby.
The cellar is on a hillside and the deepest I've seen, has brick front wall.
The blackflies were draining me dry, I didn't give the site any searching yet.
hoping this will be my first productive foundation.
Came across a well constructed LeanTo on my forest journey
Arrived home to find another snapping turtle nesting in my yard, she's a Cutie!
HH to you all
