Went further up into the hills passed the site I found the Bone Inlayed 2 tined fork....The land owner told me there was several old dwellings but his nephew went back there in the 90's. I asked him what he found, and he just kinda laughed and told me he didn't find much and gave up...This was an excellent sign, plus I'd allready found 3 coppers at the first site. This farmers last name has been pinned to this land for over 200 years....a common "hand me down" practice here in CT. Anyhow, I found the 2nd site and this is what I came up with...Another 2 tined fork, couple buttons, 2 crotal bells, a very nice bridal rosette, a COPPER, which is bust left but un-identifiable ( I believe it's another CT copper or KG II ) Some pewter flatware peices...The ground is powdery dry and the signals are kinda sketchy. However, my little prizm III snatched this copper from about 6-8 inches. ( I love this little machine ) ANyways, cant' wait for the ground to moisten up.....thanks for lookin.

I think the two-tined, 18th c. fork is a hell of a find. I've wanted one of those in my collection for years.

Best Wishes,

Yeah it will, except he only allows me to be on his property when he's home. And I lucked out and caught him yesterday.

I'd like to zap this one, but I"m afraid the thin tines will become brittle and break off.

Sniffy , you are in the perfect site . Fork is a tough one to get intact as you well know . I have one ,thanks to the grace from the man above . I would not zap it , way too fragile . Seems the nephew missed some things . See what else is there ! 8) CMD
