Anouther day of finds at the old well and cabin site.

A solid day of rain helped pull another coin from the well area. It was a solid loud signal that I thought was going to be close to the surface but was down around 14 inches. A 1777 M Therisia the date really stuck out on this one in the sunlight. It bounced around between 92 & 93, silver? The other disk next to the coin is devoid of any writing or designs and no button attachment marks, I don't know if this was a well worn coin or a adornment of some sort. All the other buttons where a blast especially the cuff buttons, the one has a fox with the words tallio, English I guess. I think this is the most addictive hobby I have ever had, and I don't think I will ever be able to stop. I don't know if its the adrenalin, greed or finders keepers, but this hobby is for me. I will be hitting the site all day tomorrow. Tallio

That's a great old site you have there! You sound new to detecting so I have to tell you to really enjoy sites like that because it doesn't get much better! I too was hunting some good old sites when I started and never had any idea how good it really was.

Keep digging. There's a good chance your best find is yet to come!

Wow A great day. You know all that stuff is 1700's period or so. Right??

Definitely a well worn/blank coin maybe Spanish (could be English). As they were silver they had some value & would circulate, normally they would be tested & countermarked by a Silver smith or the like. :icon_thumright:

Nice Buttons - like the decorared domed tombac

That some great haul of early colonial things :icon_thumleft:

. The cuff button with a fox is British for sure as 'tallio' stands for 'tallyho' and was used on sporting (fox-hunting) buttons till 1821 (at least historians say so).

well the cufflink piece is 1790s or so, therefore makes sense.
