Bill D. and I went back to the site where he found the Lord Baltimore coin in hopes of finding another. The big green monster was planting wheat in another section of the farm when we got there so we decided to put in a full day knowing we wouldn't be able to get back in there for a while. It wasn't a super productive hunt for me but it was nice to get out and swing. I did find the customary lead balls and tacks as well as a few 1600s buckle pieces. The ground had been prepped for the wheat so I was able to eyeball a few early pipe stems including one from a locally made Chesapeake pipe. The pewter buttons have identical initials on them, Bill found a couple too, so they must have something to do with the early inhabitants. Not much but it was fun. Thanks for looking.
