Colonial Tavern Cellar throws out all the Goodies.......

[johnnyblaze]

After some research i decided to check out a Colonial Tavern cellar

The area was amazingly clear of brush for the most part..
As soon as i walked on site i got a nice decor coat size button
Now we all know this gets the heart pumping instantly
Then i grabbed a Ct copper in decent shape

Right after that i pulled what i think is a Hibernia coinAny help on this one

Decided to throw the small coil on and browse the trash areas and got a smoked coin..Its the size of a copper but thin like a 1/2 Reale

Then browsing the wall i pulled out a huge Dandy button my favorite

You all know my adrenaline was going and i thought it was a GW buttonAll i could see was the decor around the edge

This was Saturday for a few hours..

Went back today and again i walked to the lower section and got a insane signal i said this has to be false..Out flips a good size silver coin encrusted with dirt..Struggling to get my camera out i was almost certain it was a 8 Reale..Out pops ole Benjamin it was a surprise Then right next to that a 1917 merc...

Walked over to a good size boulder they were quarrying and pulled a LC,then another,another and one more
4 largies in a row..All Matron heads but smoked..Sad he bummed about losing these being a Tavern right there

Then a faint signals gives me a 178? 1/2 Reale

Towards the end i headed back up towards the cellar and got another CT copper and a Flinlock toy pistol..

Finally got a decent hunt in the season is here

Since my season is over I'm relying on you guys to pick up the slack for me, and you're definitely not disappointing. You had a killer day on coins. And I feel for ya with that Ben Franklin. I know that was a heartstopper even if just for a moment. But it could have been, just not this time. Keep pounding that place and maybe that big early silver will come. Great hunt!

Well done Mr. Blaze

That's my kind of digging there! You must have been having a blast buddy

I love those two decorative buttons, one of the Connecticut's looks pretty good too, but that toy pistol is the first colonial toy gun I have seen. That is a killer find.

Sweet JB! Do you have any info on the mini flintlock? I'm assuming it's a period toy... If not it's one helluva coincidence.

 

[Detect History]

Great hunt! Thanks for sharing. Love those old spots. Everything you dig gets the heart pumping!!

Steve this site has your name all over it

The funny thing is on the 1895 map it was still there but not 1 single find from that period
I am sure someone has been in here before the finds are not popping out that easy..Well easier
