I went back last night to the same place where I recently found (2) 1700s coins posted a few days ago...I couldn't keep away of course...had more great luck! This is an historical house where we have permission to search. Check out the great coin I dug last night, 1777 King George II -- best shape of any 1700s coin I've dug yet (look carefully you can see the three sevens below the line on the back, much easier in person). The back is great! Also dug this small buckle and went back this morning I got the small musketball. Couple of snakes came by to check us out and I got this good photo of one. Earthworks joined me this morning and had a great find, this large cent. We can't get a date off it, but it's a nice coin...last night after detecting I couldn't find my keys and my wife had to drive over with a spare key -- but I had a great excuse to go back this morning..."Honey, I have to go look for my keys!" -- never found them but that's ok. We have a new historic site for tomorrow that we've been trying to get permission for months and finally got the ok. Another guy who also got permission when we did, there's a board of directors that said ok, he was over there last week for the first time and already found one colonial coin, so we are fired up about the possibilities of this new site. Hopefully we have some good posts tomorrow night. (Thanks to Earthworks for photos) -- I encourage people to look for privately run historical sites and ask permission...you may think these are off limits, but we have had good luck.

You might have to go back there for months looking for them.
