A rare winter hunt with Spanish, W&M, and KGiii gaming tokens

It’s been quite a while since I’ve tuned into Tnet. I haven’t been out hunting due to working away, putting family first, and just life’s crap in general.

I decided to put some new life into an old site by digging out a pile resulting from a collapsed chimney. I’ve avoided it for quite a while but it was time to dig. Helping me were my two kiddos today. We had a great time, moved about a half ton of stone, and scored some keepers.





The first decent tone was turned out to be a 1/2 reale, 178X.

Then a few tokens popped out, after chasing some mid tones through the iron.



They seemed to be cast in a tin/lead alloy.


Some usually bits and bobs. And what I think to be a William and Mary 1/2 penny. Quite the patina



In all it was a fun day with the kids. It was in the high 20’s so the weather was cooperating.

Hopefully I’ll get out a bit more now that life has settled out again. I’ll be doing a trip in March with my detecting group Basstards of Bramble. Maybe there will be something to post then.
I’ve dug quite a lot of good stuff early in the winter including lots of state coppers I never posted. Maybe I’ll make a recap post on a down day.


Enjoy and good hunts,

Steve

Thanks Steve. They usually have 100 other things they want to do instead of going detecting with me. The stars did align today

I bundled the coins with some fishing line, labels and dated them for when they ask about them in 20 years.
