couple 'o Geo's

Finally got out to some new to us fields today with Iron Patch and spent the day digging some nice old homesites. There weren't any stellar finds, but the targets were there and we kept ourselves busy digging steadily for the day. I got a lot of pewter buttons and a few brass flatties too, coins were worn and old, a couple of Geo lll, a Geo ll, and possibly a Geo l! For good measure I also added the GeoVl I got too

. Lots of targets too bad most were just brass and copper scraps, but good news is we still got lots of fields to explore and some we feel could hold some old Loyalist sites.

it was west, but not as far as we usually go

we scouted these fields for the first time a few years back, but never swung a detector til today, we were looking for something closer to the ranch since it's dark so early, we didn't go as far so we could have maximum digtime!

Good hunt IH. Is that a broke jaw harp? I'd love to find one of those. I'm surprised your tector didn't beep when he dug up that 2 penny. I would think any detector within a mile would sense that thing.

Good Luck

Them are some funky ctft Georgies! Too bad they aren't better.

I think the next field we hit as old will be the score.

It's the same body of water we did the Spring dirt road snow walk. (main water, not creek) This stretch of fields would be on the South East point of the water. We were on the east side, kinda North east. Not sure how much sense that makes, but that's where we were! :thumbsup:

...or about 10 miles east (give or take) on the same water where we had that button site one time, bottom right corner of a field. Day I reset your SE to work good!

yeah, actually there's pieces of two harps there, my detector was beeping when IP dug the 2penny, only my find was a huge chunk of lead (I think it was a counter weight from an old double-hung window)

I guess both of the large Colonial shoe buckles could be there... we dug the same part!

That's a nice batch of early finds.

Looks like it was a nice productive site.

Re: couple 'o Geo's

I can't recall a post with all the GEOs found!, its just too bad they are so rough. I'm suprised you or IP didn't find any rifle pieces, like a side plate or ramrod, given all the junk you and IP dug thru. I'm looking forward to your return visit, I have a feeling something very interesting will turn up.
