Colonial Kentucky

[bocephus99]

First couple of pics are my 2010 finds from an early site here in Kentucky including 2 half reales (1747, 1781) and a couple pieces of eight. I finally was able to get back to the site this past weekend for a few hours. I used a smaller coil to pick through the iron and was able to pull out a 1778 2 reale. I need to break out the sifter on this site. The belt axe has a makers mark of "S" on the side. Any info on it would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Some great finds there, you are on a good spot! That is a very unusual shape for a belt axe, altough it is small like a belt axe would be.

WOW!!!. That's a pile of buttons. I've only ever had one homestead produce a number of buttons like that, but wasn't quite that early. Good job, there probably is still more there keep at er.

You do not know how much this post has my passion at an ultimate high. This is proof of Kentucky's early history. Those relics would tell an awesome story about the Colonial settler. I would sit and listen to every word.

Dream hunting spot.

Fantastic finds!
To tell you the truth I get just as excited when I find pottery/ceramic shards like the ones you have posted! Those seem to be more personal items connected to the people who lived there. My wife thinks I am crazy however.

You have some very good items that you found , and that spot you are hunting must be a great place to hunt . Can't hardly wait to see what else you pull out of the ground in that area .
