You know it's been a while since I posted some finds, I just haven't seen too much noteworthy until today!
Happy to get out digging again with Iron Patch recently and walking down some fields. Some weren't the right ones but a couple yesterday were exactly the right ones!
We got permission for a couple of new fields in a great early area. IP found the site by grabbing a decent Rev War pewter right away so you know anything great can show up.
And..something great did show up...pretty nice 1782 2R!
I think it's been well over a decade since I've last got one those; but really any Spanish is awesome.
We moved on the next place and first signal...bang...Coast Guard button! A new one for me!
I really thought that we hit another great site but it had a lot of junk and the few coins I got there were only last century large cents so the buttons age didn't sync with coins so that place needs a little more attention.
We ended up trying a couple of other fields with little or no success but I did pull out a George ll copper right by the edge of the road on our way home so there's another good reason to get back out there!
