Second time to the homestead site where I had pulled some awesome things. This time was alot more digging and with a friend!
Some more buttons were pulled up by both of us.
I pulled another KG coin, a weird brass piece, a couple of buttons, and this button that seems newer and was about 30 feet away from the homestead location (possible ID of type?)
I also pinged a really loud one, I dug down and out came this humungous spoon!!! FULL! Crazy! I've seen people pull spoons that are bent or broken, but this one was about a foot down and seems extremely old. 1700s?
my friend pulled a couple buttons and this really old silver. I've done some lighting tricks on it and also used a magnifying glass to try and help ID the coin. I believe it says 1721 as a date with a crown directly below the date. The other side seems to have a "C" in the center with a crown above that. I've tried to research this and haven't found a match for the coin. I'm going to use a laser sight over my phone camera for better and clearer magnifying. I just have to find the laser! :laughing7:
I can't wait to go back and see what more this site has to offer! including all of these rose head nails :laughing7:
cheers everyone! 41321KGiiiObv.jpg 41321KGiii.jpg 41321silverobv.jpg 41321silver.jpg 41321colonialspoon.jpg 41321spoonback.jpg 41321spoonbowl.jpg 41321spoondes.jpg 41321spoontip.jpg finds_41321buttons.jpg 41321buttons.jpg 41321button1.jpg 41321button.jpg 41321button3.jpg 41321button2.jpg 41321brass.jpg 41321brassback.jpg 41321totalfinds.jpg finds_41321.jpg

Congrats on the VA Halfpenny. They are all dated 1773. The intact Rat Tail Dog Nose spoon is a good find. That's an early spoon, probably mid 1700s, and they are very tough to find intact.

Thanks for the info! I was definitely surprised that I pulled that out complete! Really surprised I didn’t kiss it with my trusty shovel haha
