My Nephew djm of PA & I decided to hunt the Field in My hometown Sunday
again, since the last 2 times I found Colonial Coppers here .
and it's a spot we only hit once a year.
My other Nephew who just started detecting & BKINPA also joined us.
First a Little History.
The Field
sits along the Tulpehocken Trail which was used in the 1700's
by Iroquois embassies traveling to & from Onondaga (what is now Syracuse) and other parts of the Six Nations country.
in around 1800 there was a watering hole built here for the travelers.
known then as the Keffers Tavern stand.
in 1812 Draft resiters hid out behind it till the war of 1812 ended.
1875
By the 20th Century
the Field was used as a ball Field
May 4th. 1939
May 31, 1939
With a hunch we headed out, DJM & I Both thinking with the Colonial Coppers ,
being found here , There has to be Colonial silver
My gas rebate
My trash
A hot rock my Pro Pointer Liked
Unknown shell
Perhaps an early Headlight Shell ?
An Aluminum Spoon I re-lost
But No Silver for me
My Nephew Got That
First colonial/Spanish silver!!!
