1700's Phillip the V Cut Spanish Pistareen and 1864 Two Cent

Well came down from the high of my South Carolina hunt and got back out to my old Virginia haunts and scored some nice finds today and Friday. We're (me and Jeff)

working a new area with several campsites and have been digging all the stuff associated with them. Not only is it an area that was used during the Civil War era but

HEAVILY used during the colonial days. Scored a nice kepi Eagle "I" when we first went to the new area we were looking at. Also a Nice large cent... On Friday, I was

hunting and got a nice Silver signal, dug down, popped the plug and saw a nice silver edge sticking out! We've just begun to scratch the surface of this area we are in.....

So here's the video and finds without further adieu:










Fresh from the pouch:







Phillip V of Spain Cut Pistareen







1835 Matron Head Large Cent






1864 2 Cent
(Yes my friends, even once in a VERY rare blue moon, I get a target that pinpoints so utterly terrible, that I nick it. For those of you who've dug one of these you know what I'm talking about. It was about 10 inches deep and pinpointed way off center... I hate that it happened but it is what it is.)










Colonial Buckles (Silver Thimble and Tombac thrown in)






1893 Columbian Worlds Exposition Medal




Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks-July 1905 Grand Lodge Reunion Medal



10 in Trade Token (Found amongst the Eagle A's and other campsite items)





Haven't figured this one out yet. At first I thought a butt plate but it has an attachment point on the back like you find on a cape pin, possibly a trigger guard to an unknown musket/rifle

Looks good Josh!!! Hopefully, the new site will produce for a while (until we get out there-LOL). The butt plate/Cape pin type brass piece looks likw a trigger guard from a pre CW rifle to me but I'm not a Colonial or CW relic expert. HH, Quindy.

Yes Quin, I was thinking the same that it could be a trigger guard, but admitted, if so, it's one that I haven't dug before

Re: Phillip the V Cut Pistareen and 1864 Two Cent

Josh, the more I look at that brass piece, it may very well be a broken patchbox cover that went into the stock on a rifle made by a 1700/1800s gunsmith. Think of it in that context. It's just not as wide as most patchbox covers. Just guessing. Is a pistareen like a privvy-LOL? If your Fall hunting season is anything like your summer hunts, you'll need oxygen. HH, Quindy.

LOL...Latrine...Pistareen....Privy

Yeah, could be a patchbox, was thinking about that too but usually they are wider like you said...but the variation could be due to a obscure musket...


Sheet, it was SO HUMID today I just about DID NEED OXYGEN We did about 4 hours this morning and it rained hard in the pre-dawn hours, so all that rain mixed with 90s made the Humidity BONE CRUSHING and the head alittle at times today!

Hey, Josh, you are on the Colonial move again and I am happy to see you striking cut silver. On my day off, I will drink a Honeymoon to this great post.

Those shoe buckles and spur buckle have my Colonial blood pumping.

Nice finds...I think the piece of your trigger assembly is Colonial period.

Re: Phillip the V Cut Pistareen and 1864 Two Cent

Well done Josh. It would be nice if I would find a cut piece but it seems that they did not need to cut silver pieces around here to make change with. A plentiful amount of coppers were to be found.
