triple threat finds!

[ironhorse]

First of all, it's been keeping mild lately and digging continues! We missed being too much of a part of the recent nor' easter, although it was mainly a rain event for us, the fields weren't too soaked and muddy.
Me and Iron Patch have been keeping true to our method of madness, hit a tried and true good ole site and find another site to dig. We weren't disappointed with a site we have't seen in a couple of years; actually two, an early French Acadian site with an adjacent Rev War site in the same field, and we discovered a mid 1800s site not too far away.
Got a few flat buttons, some relics (religious medal, lead bale/bag seals, and other odds and ends), few coppers (tokens) and lots of junk
Notable finds included my Rev War pewter buttons and a very well worn French 4 sols coin; I'm guessing 1670s or so!
There's another 1600s silver coin I scooped up with IP close by in the last couple of weeks, he,s a pretty good good luck charm, I'll say!

Good job Mr. Horse,

Another 1600's silver for you.....I'll get one one of these days.
The pic just after the silver coin, is that the seal ? sure is a cool design on it, seems I always find the same one over, and over again. (or slight variations of the same one)

Yes, this is some find Dec. weather we are having, it's looking like I just might get a hunt in myself.

You got the right kinds of sites that will produce a coin from that timeframe.
yes, bale seal, I've found that one before at another site.
We are lucky to have days that we can take advantage of because they will be few
