Ending 2009 with One Last Nice Hunt!

timekiller · Dec 27, 2009

This will probably do me for 2009 as the weather is going to be bad it looks for the rest of the week.But deer hunting will be over here at the end of the week so that will give me some more options on places to go.Today was purdy here got out on the river again and done some looking.Found some good finds to end 09.Another piece of cut silver and a small jug that was the closes to a whole one of them that I"ve found.Many pieces around that I've seen but never nothing this close to a whole one for me.Other then the handle missing and a couple of chips at the top it was in good shape.The silver this time I almost passed it as I thought it was a piece of lead,from the way it sound I was finding pieces of old musket shot and scrap lead all around in this area so I almost didn't go for it as it was sounding much like it for some reason.Anyway Enjoy!

Pete, that cut silver has me drooling. :icon_sunny:

That cut silver is called a pistareen. :headbang:

Here's a great article on them: http://data.numismatics.org/cnl/Pistareens.pdf

Keep on hunting that cut silver tract of land, Colonial Pete! :notworthy:

There were Colonial drunkards stumbling along that river on their way home from the local grog shop. :laughing9:

Can't believe that jug is near complete! Quite a score, and the silver is good too!

Hey buddy how you doing? I think these old boys here were working at this place as I think it must of been some kind of port from what I can tell with all the ballast stones laying around. :thumbsup:

They done there drinking as well though I'm sure! :laughing7:

Thanks Buddy,not sure on it's age but I see these type things all around these areas I go but never this close to a whole one.It was just on the other side of the creek from the silver. :thumbsup:

Colonially-speaking, I'm not doing too well, Pete. :laughing9:

We are not going to be swinging again until probably March, so you know I'm at my breaking point right now. :'(

Sweet. Those Colonial ports are loaded with relics and coins! If you read that article I attached, it mentioned how the sailors, with their hard-earned money, would frequent the ale houses, some times resulting in a night spent in the local jail after a brawl. :laughing9:

They sure knew how to whoop it up back then. :laughing9:

Take care, Pete! You are the person getting me through this long PA arctic winter, so keep on flipping out those silver slices and NC frontier relics!
