Checkmate King II to Checkmate Charlie III update 3-17 & 3-18
Hi T-Net Mother nature been hammering the area since Sat. Five inches of rain , northeaster storms , thunder ,hail . Whats to worry about . Used to all this stuff. Why not try for some soggy finds .Wading through the muck is really not that bad . I like dirt , especially when it can be shoveled easily and you don't need a jackhammer.
Any bugs that might have decided to come out of hiding , probably drowned is another plus! On the field by sunrise ...Nice and soggy ..within a halfhour ..I had the first KG ..173 ? 
next was a brass finial, may be part of an andiron ..solid ..a foot deep and sounded like a church bell through the headset 
some buttons led me to the Kings castle ..big cent no date left ..my cleaning later really left nothing of the reverse . I was able to find some more relics and another King II halfpenny , from the old colonial farm field . Spent the best part of today dodging rain showers , had lunch in the rain , sunk in the mud from the rain , washed my hands in the rain , dug in the rain , and went bananas out here , in the friking rain . 
I like the way a cell phone looks like a piece of chocolate cake when I drop them in muck!! It is still raining as I write this .. Found: brass finial ,door hook, bone handled knife , part of a scissor handle, piece of a pot hanger hook for iron pots in the fireplace, well designed brass trunk hinge, rusted iron door knob, square buckle, cleaver , two large buttons , 4 small buttons (not pictured) and the usual half bucket of iron pieces. Coins found : 1737 KGII halfpenny ,1730 KGII halfpenny, KG II penny (1729-1754) cannot get the date to come up . I am still cleaning up mud but it was the best hunt for me so far in 2K10. 
Thanks for taking a look CMD Update finds 3-17-10 found 3 buttons ..Wellington plate on backmark , a bell , rusty handle , 1784 Charles III one real " almost 2 bits from a harrowing disc" another Charles III no date one real , & a mystery coin
