CELLAR DWELLING AND RANDOM WOODS ROAM PRODUCES SOME COLONIAL GOODIES

johnnyblaze · Nov 26, 2012

What is up Tnet..

Got out to a couple of cellars this past week and was able to scratch out some goodies :icon_thumleft:

Traveled over to CT and met up with Fred "Mr Electric" scouring the woods for a cellar hole..Could not find it but huge walls everywhere :icon_scratch:

So we happened upon a real crude looking small cellar and off we went..Was able to the cutest lil shoe buckle ever

I mean this must have been a lil 2 year old Colonial :laughing7:

Then i grabbed a beauty of a Colonial button :headbang:

Not much else there i think that was all they had..

Next i went on a random roam throught the woods..Came upon a real cheezy looking wall..On the way down the hill i grabbed a good 90 on the vdi...That is what you want to see out in the woods :icon_thumright:

Out pops a 1816 large cent..Then another large cent right next to that :thumbsup:

Then another signal that turned out to be a 1784 Spanish silver :headbang:

Then the beauty of a Rosette next to that :headbang:

Maybe the dude fell of his horse there :laughing7:

I also grabbed a big ole Dandy button..

A Canadian largie and some kind of 5 token thingy..

Have fun out there :hello:

WTG JB! Super Hunt! It's amazing what stonewalls lead to.

Nice finds there JB, that countryside looks like something out of a Robert Frost poem.

Nice stuff as usual JB. Do I detect a hint of counterfeit on that Spanish?

Thats funny you say that something does not look exactly right around the edges..

I was thinking that when i was cleaning it,,

Ill give it another look.

If it is a counterfeit its a real good one..

Is the spanish silver plated? Looks off...or is that just tarnish?

really nice stuff. beautiful rosette and buttons, one of the largest I've seen.
the last two buckle frames I've recovered have been baby size too..
Thought that Spanish didn't look right, period copies are better than 'Real' ones imo :laughing7:

late teen coppers lookin good
My sites look just like yours, too bad my finds don't :laughing9:

Congrats on a superb group of recoveries !!!

wow fantastic digs JB, your cellar holes are so much nicer and plentiful than the ones we have up here, but i did just accidentally stumbled upon an open stone lined well last weekend and hope to hit it in the spring. hope to get down there one day.
