Back to an old site for new goodies...

[West Jersey Detecting]

I detected this site many years ago with an inferior detector and never found a thing. I decided to give it another shot with my V3i after dinner last night and hit a lot of mid-range targets that were obviously skipped over by others. I also dug some deep questionable signals that turned out to be some good finds. The musket ball was sitting on the surface of a busy path, which leads me to believe it was either dropped by someone out of their treasure finds bag, or it was a disappointing find by some newbie who did not realize what he had found.

I am curious if anyone has any info on the lead seal which has N.Y. LES....... RR.
Also if anyone can ID the piece with the GR hallmark on it (possibly a crown over it?) and the eagle watch winder it would be appreciated!

I have only scratched the surface of this "born-again" site!

I am fairly certain that the "GR" piece is part of a keyhole cover. But then again, I could be wrong.

The GR piece is a keyhole cover to a pad lock.

Nice finds!!

Nice finds Neil,
Those two lug mounts say to me that there are some chance of some very early 18th/late 17th century items that could be found there.But I'd be likeing what you've already found myself.
Take Care,

The site definitely goes back at least that far. The eagle button looks like it may be a Regiment button circa 1812. Definitely some goodies hidden there for sure!

Spot on Georgian (British) key hole cover.

I like the watch winder
