HI GUYS AND GALS

Out today for a run....almost didn,t go...-8 celsius and some wind to boot.

Called cousin ED.. he was game....so off we went. Got to the spot we planned on going after grabbing a hot coffee.... the wind was hitting there...figured we better find another spot where we could get outta the wind some.

Boy am I glad we did.... I get to cross off my list what I wanted to find this year.... SPANISH COIN !!!

In bad shape tho but I,ll take it any day of the week....the 25 cent 1894 [key date] was totally encrusted in black coating...wasn,t til I got home that I even knew for sure it was a coin.

The coppers were in great shape for saltwater ..but everywhere else they are awful shape....must be the type of ground.

Few nice relics also....Ed found the 1st coppper coin on top / lead bale seal and few musket balls.

Any ideas on the what the top copper coin and the last copper coin is would be appreciated ??

Also ..what are the 2 identical items at the bottom...assuming some kinda holder ??

Awesome, well-rounded hunt for sure, AQUA !
Obviously the silver is great, but really nice relic finds as well.
Is that item with the holes a salt shaker head? sure looks it.
You hit it outta the park with this hunt.

Any ideas about the 1st copper at the top ?

And what would be the 2 identical pieces...looks like holders of some sort

TY RELIC

Yes..it is a salt shaker top---I think.. but it is very heavy...must be made of pewter.

I,m really liking the relics...amazing that stuff is in such great shape after being in saltwater for such a long time...really amazes me.
