Silver Member
I went back to a cellar hole along a colonial road that I found using lidar today. I called a buddy, and he was able to get out of work at 5pm, claiming he had a family problem
. We then went to the location of a cellar hole, abandoned around 1790-1800. I was there yesterday for two hours, with my parents, and we found five colonial buttons and some colonial furniture pieces. Right away there today I found a colonial flat button. My buddy found one too. I then went into the thick overgrowth, full of poison ivy and ticks, and got a nice 79 on my T2. I pulled out, at 6 inches, the most beat up piece of colonial silver I have ever seen. It is around the size of a nickel, I am guessing that it is a one reale, but it is paper thin. Perhaps it is a 1600's piece of silver, that was dropped in the late 1700's. It is covered in deep gouges, and very worn, getting an ID is impossible, it could be a pine tree for all I know. I then got a deep big iron signal, dug around a foot, and found a colonial iron hoe head. Twenty feet away I got an 80 on my metal detector, six inches deep was another beat up coin, a toasted farthing sized coin. It is bent and toasted. Before I left I dug up another colonial button. I like the fact the there is almost no trash here. I found one rimfire bullet casing and said, "What! Really!", loudly, after finding a piece of late 19th century trash
. More finds there in an hour and a half, than in all of 2017, until I found this site. When the weekend comes I will try to stay for a few hours. The fall will be good here, when all the overgrowth is dead.
