Final Hunt of 2015! 1838 Half dime, LC, KG11....

[Vino]

Couldn't help myself, had to get out one more time.
My plan was to find 1 keeper, well it turned into more. Started of by finding musket balls. Dropped and shot. Seems they used this hill side as target practice. Was finding alot of smashed ones in the hill.
So I thought where were they shooting from
Turned around and walked down while I was swinging.
About 50 or so feet down I het this little wisper of a signal. I actually turned down my audio so I could tell the difference between deep and shallow, because of a lot of surface trash. So I dig down a there was a small silver black coin in a hard packed dirt. I thought it was going to be a capped bust.. I like seated though.. So there is my keeper for the day..yay!!!
So with that date I was thinking this place might have been a training camp Maybe Ill find a plate?
Well not 10 mins later I get this over load signal..Oh crap my belt buckle.
It was a belt buckle, but not the one I was hoping for:-( lol
Then I got another nice high tone wisper, about 9in down popped out the LC, I believe its a classic head.
All the detail disappear when I got home..oh well.
Some pewter spoons, and misc..
This Lead piece with the star on it came from the other day as well as the KG11.
If anyone knows what that is, and the stamped copper with the flower design on it please chim in..
Maybe off a horse saddle or furniture?
Anyway, Happy New year to all and to all a goodnight! !
My year end wrap up I will do over the weekend.
This little hunt was a great way to End my year..
Thanks for coming with me.
George

Missed this post up Vino, New Years and all that stuff. Thinking now I'd rather of just viewed your post for 7+hrs than the torture that I had to endure. Great looking Half Dime and relics it was a great ending to the season that's for sure. The lead piece with the star on it, the picture of the back it shows two rust spots, are they iron? All the best for the 2016 season.
