Fall finds

[Iron Patch]

Here is my better and more interesting finds from the Fall. This was suppose to happen sooner and be a catch up post once Ironhorse was able to get out, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Based on both the short term and long term forecast it seems like the status of this one will go from catch up post to better final results. It's still a little early here for the freeze up to happen but doesn't look good to get out for much longer.

Quite a few of my finds are similar things as I've dug over the years but the massive trade weight, IHS Jesuit button and pieces of Serpent Sideplate were a few things that definitely were not on my radar to dig. Always hoped to one day dig a Jesuit trade ring as I could see that turning up among some early French finds but the sideplate was very unexpected and cool to see... and I was lucky getting a piece with the head. I'll be back at some point with a year end post showing it all... but I may give beach hunting a shot as I still have a new scoop to break in and no gold for the year, but we'll see what happens with that.
