Hey guys,
Happy to report another productive season of digging in the lowcountry. While I typically target the early colonial sites, did get a nice assortment of 1600-1800s relics. A late season permission landed some of the most rare stuff I've recovered to date. Thanks to Stefan, Glenn and Ryan for tagging along for a bunch of memorable digs. Without further delay, here's the highlight reel.
Best finds of 2018 - Rattlesnake Coat Button and early 1700's Gold Ladies Ring
I'm a button guy so this one has been on the buckle list for some time. Colonial gold is almost unheard of so this ring is off the charts.
Rev War 82nd Regiment of Foot, British sword guard, sling buckle, brown bess butt stock, and neck stock
18th century toy cannon
Pair of matching 1670s buckles
1820s cockade/patriotic buttons
1713 Columbia 2 escudos counterfeit
1722 Rosa Americana Penny/1723 Rosa Americana Twopence
Nova
Seated and 6 Spanish
KGII, KGIII
1805/1816 LC
SC and Confederate A
Early Navy and Rifleman
French 3lb cannonball
1840s Thermometer and Saw Medallion
Best surface finds
That about covers the spread - early colonial to Civil War, hard to beat digging in coastal SC. About time to reset the signature and start another year of research, scouting and digging. Good luck in 2019!
