First hunt of 2011 a little Rev Lead

[nc-joe]

Met up with Tioga and KingsMtnMan for a couple hours on Monday. Decided to give the Civil War camp and rest and headed over to a Revolutionary War site and see if we could find anything off in the woods.

After a couple of hours and a bunch of 12 guage shot gun shells, I came across 2 fired muskets that were just a couple feet apart from each other. Looks to be a smaller calibur US rounds. I had a blast and the weather was great.

Thanks for setting things up KMM and glad you could make it Tioga.

The last time I detected with Joe he dug a 1787 Irish Half penny in the front yard of a colonial house I've been detecting for years.
I about croaked! I think I ran out of four letter words to call him that day.
It made me think that maybe I need to upgrade detectors.

1782 Irish Half Penny. LOL Yeah and it's only taken 2 years for you even think of hunting with me again!!! Just kidding buddy, I can't be more appreciative of your hospitality.

Where in NC are you Trixie Charger?


Oh and Doug, that is a 2010 Lincoln Cent. New design, and I think it's the one they will go with for a while. I think it will be changed soon, though. Just like the Shield Nickle and 2 cent piece, I think the design is almost too devisive as this was the symbol of the Union during the civil war. States rights, or lack there of, is becoming more of a political hot button than it was in 1860, so we will see if the design sticks around very long.

Ha, ha, ha. I admit it. I was spanked that day right in front of my eyes. You found that right along where the plank road used to be in front of the house. And about 50 yards down that same path Bob (Mirage) dug his 1/2 real. My oldest from that site has still been the 1833 half dime. Pretty darn old coins.

Thanks for the info on the new pennies. I like that design. Tired of digging memorials.
