Relic Hunting
Did a few hunts in the last two weeks or so. Only a very small portion of my fields is harvested at this moment, so I don't really have many options as to the sites I can explore. But I still managed to pull a few good relics and coins.

One of my favorite finds is this tiny mid 1700's Trade belt axe, probably one of my earliest ones.

An other good relic was my first antler pipe. Looks to be carved from a deer antler? Couldn't be happier with this one as I love early pipes.

Than an other good one, my 3rd anthropomorphic clay pipe.

Many more finds that I unfortunately didn't get the chance to take a clear pic of or gave away to the land owners.

Getting anxious about the possibility of the late harvest yet again this year. Lots of rain in the forecast ...


Thanks for the comments.

Awesome hunt & recoveries, there is nothing not to like but the are & pipe are on top & very nice coin saves, congrats & HH & great pictures too

Thanks Inspector
 

You never fail to impress with the quality of finds you make Anton! :occasion14:

Here I'm happy to have a day like today where I found one token. :laughing7:

Love those musket flints too,
Dave

Thanks Dave. Nothing wrong with one token a day. Finally, I believe that antler relic isn't a pipe but rather a powder measure for the musket. I'm learning every day in this hobby, that's the cool part.
 

As usual killer variety! I like that militia button.
