Hey, folks, Colonial Silver Zeus, Colonial KirkPA, and I got out to a new site today. :thumbsup:

As Colonial KirkPA already mentioned, it took us about 1.5-2 hours of John Walter-like swinging prior to receiving anything that pertained to the Colonial era (e.g., iron trash, butt-ins, coppas, Spanish wilver, non-glazed pottery). :thumbsup: Well, during that 1.5-2 hours of sweeping, I heard Colonial Silver Zeus cussing like 6 drunken sailors. :D I asked, "What's wrong, you looney?" :D He stated, "My f%*^%$# pinpointer is uttting suuuuuuper bad." :D Well, folks, about 5 minutes later, I heard a 210-pound, linebacker-sized lunker say, "You son of a b&^%% take this." :D :D Folks, the Colonial-seeking lunker ran full speed and threw his Vibraprobe pinpointer at a nearby tree. :D :D :D :D :D :D Let me just say that he later snapped the darn thing into two halves soon after. :D :D :D :D :D

Well, folks, after Colonial KirkPA and Colonial Silver Zeus were yelping out their Colonial artifacts, I got a nice "P" on "Penny" reading on my White's XL Pro 6000. I dug out a square nail and, in the same exact hole, I excavated this AWESOME Colonial magnifying glass. :icon_sunny: A square nail in the same exact hole with a Colonial artifact...that's about the 10th time that has happened. :D Folks, the glass is still in it, and it was found in the same area where the coppas were found. :icon_sunny:

This happy gibbon and the other datectateers are going baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack next Sundy (Sunday). :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking, fellow metal datecting enthusiasts!

HEY Kyle !! :icon_salut: :icon_king: Of :icon_king: 's in the Colonial Research of the GREAT State of Pennsylvania ! :notworthy:

Rarely do ya find such a SWEET Colonial relic intact like that and the glass isnt broken :thumbsup: That is superb !!! & !

Back in 2004 during the excavations of the Hendrick fireplace I dug the leftovers of a broken magnifying glass and that was just the outter metal rim with 2 bends at the bottom which would hook inside of a handle.

The Colonial relic gods have actually provided you the tool to closely examine future dug coppas and wilvers for dates ! Way to COOL my friend ! :icon_salut: So congrats on a AWESOME relic find :blob9: :occasion18:

P / S ... I hope Chris gave the pinpointer a proper burial ... it to will be a COOL relic find for KKC's great great great great grandchildren !! :icon_biggrin:

Keepin the colonial fever high !

Buck, thanks for the reply, buddy.

I think it is silver. It is definitely not copper.

Now, get out into the field and dig us some militia belt plates, buddy!

WAAAAHHHHHOOOO, the D. Dude is online!!! :icon_salut: Mr. King of the Mohawk Colonial Stuff, I hope your "permission mission" at that NEW site was a success? :icon_cheers:

After I yanked out the square nail, I put the doyt back into the hole, placed the "horseshoe-like" plug back, gave it a nice little Colonial stomp, and then re-scanned the historic plug. :smileinbox: I received a sharp signal this time, and said to myself, kind of like John "Johnny" Walter would do, "I'll be damned...another signal...I'll be damned." :D Since I am a careful Colonial digger, I got the vibration from my pinpointer and gingerly dug the historic doyt out of the area. I picked up the artifact and said, "MAGNIFYING GLASS...FULLY INTACT...COLONIAL-STYLE!!!!" :headbang: I am super glad that I am a careful gibbon when it comes to digging out Colonial artifacts. :D

Yup, those Colonial gods knew that this Colonial-seeking baboon is going to find many more artifacts in the near future. I am glad that they pointed this Colonial-seeking hunter in its direction. :icon_sunny: I bow to them and their Colonial ways! :notworthy:

KKC's great great great grandchildren will thank us for burying that snapped-into-two-no-good-piece-of-junk pinpointer! :D

As always, my good buddy from the Upstate of NY, our fevers must stay suuuuuuuuper high! :occasion14:

Three for the year is certainly my fair share...and five plus a set of "puppy paws" and a belt keeper is more than the Brigade's fair share...but anything is possible. In short, I'm workin on it, buddy. :wink:
