Colonial Fort in Missouri

tsgman · Oct 11, 2005

What an opportunity! Thats all I can really say. Last Sunday, my new best friend in the world, JD invited me and another buddy up for a colonial fort hunt. The first find was Craig digging a King George Copper! When you are finding King George Coppers, that means its going to be a great day right. Well it actually got better. Within a few minutes I found another one!
My friend JD, not to be outdone dug the most beautiful 1808 caped bust half, followed by Craig with a 1799 Spanish Reale. We also found musket balls, pewter buttons and other colonial relics. All in all it was the most fun I have ever had detecting. Thanks for taking us JD. Oh and next time I will wear my lucky shirt and pants and who knows what we will find.

Very good day of hunting. I have a lead on a colonial fort near Washington, but in my part of Missouri, I haven't one. There is a cival war campground about five miles from here, and I will try to find the owner of that field. Maybe I'll get almost as lucky as you guys. Great finds...beautiful in fact.
