Got out with Todd saturday back to a site I did well at last year with the seated half ,half cent,ct copper.
This was the site where Todd got terrorized by the yellow jackets when he rolled a log over.
coming down the hill into the site we see freshly dug gaping open holes all over the place

not only did they leave em open,they left iron in the holes,beer cans not far from the holes too.
not much left at this site but in a barberry patch i got a nice 1766 KGIII counterfeit Hibernia,rang 31 on the VDI.
we decided to walk down the old road and cross a river.up on the hill on the left was another cellar hole we didn't know about. again..same thing open holes all over.whoever was here was a moron.left buttons in some of the dug holes

thank you very much! 2nd site gave up the buttons,a square holed musketball and some odds n ends
was a fun hunt despite what the previous detectors did.we musta just missed em as we got to the site at 10 am.we were in eastern CT.

Sweet finds Heavymetalnut! I love the look of those Hibernia coins! Did Todd make a video of the hunt? I'd love to see it if so.

thanks! I know he has so much footage of past hunts that he has even edited or anything.when he gets motivated he usually puts one together.it's a lot of work editing etc.
 

Good hunt for a raided site.

I'm no good with Irish coins but to me that looks a bit too good for a counterfeit, I wonder what IPs thoughts are?
 

what age do you think the ax head you found is?--- I found a similar looking one in the USA at a spot I think to be late 1700's to early 1800 era time frame wise.
 

I just don't understand what is so hard about putting dirt back in a hole.
I'm glad you found that beautiful Hibernia and all those buttons, i'd be ecstatic with one button. I hope they see this thread and see what they missed. Sorry they raided your site.
 

That's a nice looking KG and that little tombac is a great find. Too bad about the holes all over the place. How's the digging out there? I don't think I could get anything from the ground right now.
 

cool finds. no such thing as colonial finds where I live, so I don't know jack about them except what I learn here on t-net. coin looks good to me, so what makes you believe it's fake?
