Back to the lake..The Colonial lake.....

johnnyblaze · Feb 24, 2012

Well got out on the lake again this week and did pretty good :icon_thumleft:

I said i had to do some different kind of hunting instead of my usual Colonial cellars but for some
reason the colonial sites find me :laughing7:

This time i went to the other side and noticed it was more flat with no rocks at all..
I got a good signal that ended up being a RI railroad company 2 piece button and when i flipped the plug over i thought it was a large piece of lead as im running over it with my detector no tone :icon_scratch:

Reached down and pulled out a colonial pipe :headbang:

Then the button

A few more steps out and i grabbed a 1776 reale :headbang:

Then button after button i realized that before this was flooded it was a colonial farm :hello2:

Grabbed a KG and lots of pewter buttons..

On the walk back i grabbed the merc dime and half dollar,sterling ring along with lots of lures again.. :thumbsup:

Also i pulled a early lead sinker..1800's i think..

Have fun out there :thumbsup:

Blaze

I had a great time out there and have only scratched the surface

Blaze,
Nice collection of finds, and such a spread of time frame in the hunt area. I see you are from RI, did you ever run into Bill Ladd out in the field?

No and i hope i never do.....

One of the biggest j*rks in the metal detecting industry..

Thanks for the reply

the finds, the site, the pix, the dog, Great Stuff!
love the Spanish and Copper

Any ideas on the rectangular copper piece with broken ring and 'indian head?'
Got a pipe with TD on the bowl, has 'whites glasgow' on stem, wonder what TD was, the model?
There's a table online somewhere that dates pipes by the bore diameter. (larger=older)
Keep them goodies comin :wink:

Wow that goose was banded 20 years ago! Might have fish and game scratching their heads. Makes you wonder what year that goose met its demise, and how it happened? I took me twenty years of duck hunting to shoot a banded duck! Really cool find.

JB you are on a remarkable roll with the great finds.
Keep it up buddy.

Been very well Johnny,
Getting a decent find per month or so, I'm happy with that :hello2:

I wish some of the lakes up here were down, That's one nice little spot to have nearby...
I see that copper piece has a broken loop on the other side too,
Likely bracelet piece with chain missing.
I'm gonna say that it's been a while since I got a Spanish too,
Maybe today is the day!
Congrats on your finds & Great Post! Best Digs, Herbie.

looking4largecent · Feb 28, 2012

Nice finds! I like the planes. Does your partner take over the digging when your arms get tired?

yaxthri · Feb 29, 2012

That's a cute (and well-fed if I may add, hahaha...) JackRusell.

Love the old rusty fishing lures... but the clay pipe head tops everything.
Great finds.

Took me about 15 to get my one and only band. Nice Goose band. I bet there is a story behind it.
