Hi All,
I went back to the spot where I dug the 1730 on Friday. The first hour of the hunt was slow going digging some deep iffy signals only to come up with Iron finds. Anyways a thunderstorm started to roll in from the west. I get swinging listening to it getting closer. My first good find was the nice large flat button. Once I made that find I knew my day was covered to me find something of the Colonial period is a good day. I then dug the larger of the two rounded dome shape objects. After that I dug the smaller dome object. The thunder started to sound like it was getting closer. I figured I would hang in there a little more and I am glad I did. I started swinging and then got a nice signal and up the " U" shaped object with nice markings on it. I was real happy with that and knew somebody will be able to tell me what it goes to. I went about five feet from the "U" shape dig and got a nice very deep but quiet high signal. So with the thunder starting to get louder and my first signs of lightning I started to dig and dig and dig. It was tough digging but finally at 9 inches out comes a large copper. I have measured my trowel so I can tell depths when I dig things. Well from top to bottom the trowel is 9 inches and I took a pic to show it. Sorry the pic isn't in focus but the lightning and thunder were really cranking at this point. I quickly bury the hole. Of course I leave my detector on and about four feet from the spot I got the copper I get a good low tone. Now the rain is starting to come and I have a nice low tone signal that I have to dig. Thank God it was only about 4 inches deep and out comes a pewter button. In the pouch it goes , fill the hole, get my butt out of the woods, cross the field in the pouring rain. Get to my car get the stuff in and about 30 seconds later it started hailing the since of Dimes. Well for a two hour hunt I say it wasn't bad at all. The storm for sure added to the excitement. Oh like I said if anyone knows what the "U" shape thing is let me know. Also the pewter button is not to happy, but I think I see markings on it that it was a marked front. Can anyone say if they see anything or is it my eyes playing tricks on me. oh and I weighed the King George and this one weighed 9.4 grams. Thanks for looking and reading.
