Colonial Mill site again then back to the Colonial fields......

[johnnyblaze]

Headed back over to the Mill site again with the house cellar filled in..
Looking at the mill i noticed branches and trees piled up and it looked liked cut stone underneath
Upon moving them i was amazed to see the old wheel and stonePerfectly cut i wish i could get a machine in there to take it home This Mill was Colonial and worked right up to the 20th century..Amazing

Grabbed a 1895 IH and another 1857 flying EagleI never dig flying eagles and got 2 in the past week

Got the ever famous zippo lighter.Poor Paul..

A waffle type colonial button and other odds an ends..

Then back to the fieldsI must say i like cellars much more than fields..

The usual smoked like cheech and Chong KG copper

Grabbed a nice 2 piece button with a star and gold gilt

A small Colonial shoe buckle frame and all the way on the other side a small Colonial chape..Looks like a match..

Some flatties a sterling ring and some IHeads..

Well congrats to the 2 New England Boys for the 5 GW'S and a 1652 Mass coin

Those are the kind of finds we dream of every time we leave the house to detect and its good to see them come true

Have fun out there

I like that little flower type button JB!! I found my first 1857 FE cent this year in that 1864 U.S. Colored Troop Camp, then you found one, and ANOTHER-unbelievable. I'm beginning to think they are common now-LOL. You have had success like Dawg at those old mill sites. Great post, finds, & pics as usual. Keep it up & HH, Q.

Hey Johnny , the flying eagle cent is a favorite of mine , Quindy I remember you found two at CW camps , kool coins , great design on those first small coins .These nickel coppers replaced the beloved large cents and imho were easily lost vs. their big brothers . As you might say " My kind of " old mill site , some suck while others can be a gold mine . I was able to get a stone and a recent post on TN showed a few mill stones still on site . Those stones are worth a few bucks . I chose to keep the millstone I found because of it's local history .

Plenty of trading done at these mills , so it should give up some great stuff if you have the patience to seek out those areas . Glad to see your pics , looks like it has the potential for many hunts . Any water front property always had visitors for hundreds of years as you already know . Some were great for swimming holes , excellent place to search for lost stuff .

Best of luck ,

dawg

Nice finds, JB! The best find was the mill site itself, apparently left in its abandoned state.
