Finally have been able to dust off the gear and dig some holes in the ground without chiseling through rock hard frost. Spent about 6-7hrs out over the afternoons on Friday and Sunday. gonna have to recondition my swingin arm again, because it didn't take very long to tire, and start switching arms.
I managed to pull out the most amount of buttons ive ever pulled out of the ground in one place in one weekend. some are quite small, and a couple have a bit of size too them. ive zoomed in and photographed any visable details on some of the finds, any help with age and id will be appreciated. Ive also got what I believe to be an old beat up possibly French copper coin of some sort. the piece's edges are all deteriorated giving it a smaller diameter than it should. its worn quite thin, and pictured in the middle is cross. at each end of the cross is three dots (cannon balls perhaps) and inside at least one of the nodes of the cross I can see what looks like a fleur de lis. if this is a coin and anyone can help with info on dating the coin and its nationality would be great as well!
as well we can also see a range of bullets have been found, no muskets this time, but have found a couple in the same field last year when I bowed out to winter and hung up the gear. looks like an old wind up key of sorts for something, and have also found a very deteriorated medal with the horse pictured on it. Cant wait until the long weekend to keep at er!
