1824 General Lafayette Wax Seal Commemorating His Return to New York

[Kyle PA]

Kirk, Chris, and I went back to the same site that we hit last Sunday. I dug the 1788 Connecticut copper that was struck over a Nova Constellatio there. Chris dug a VA halfpenny, 1796 large cent, and a Coronet cent. Kirk dug the 1844 political medal there as well.

Here is Kirk pinpointing a signal in the iron patch.



I decided to snap some other pictures of the site. Here is a pic that I call "Looking out into the Pennsylvania frontier."



Here is another view of the surrounding land from where the home sat. This early settler sure had a beautiful view.



Once again, just like last Sunday, within the first 10 minutes of swinging, I got an iffy nickel reading. After I flipped the dirt out, it was still in the hole and reading in the high penny range. I was thrilled when I saw what it was: a 1754 King George II farthing. It is our second farthing this year as a group.





I also found this interesting wax seal. I can't make out what the letters say surrounding the bust of the man. If anyone knows who it is, I would greatly appreciate the needed information!







Here are my relics for the day.

Kyle , that is a beauty! There is a lot of history in the ground in this part of the country. Was this a site you stumbled on or did you do your homework first? It pays "big time" to get all the facts and history first in order to make the neat finds! Congratulations! - JHinPA

I researched the site before we ever walked into the field and detected it.
