I got out for a little while last week to the colonial site that yielded 9 large coppers last year. (and 2 more so far this year) No coppers for the hunt 
but I did manage one colonial button, a couple musket balls, and a 1905 Barber dime, as well as a few other relics. 8) The lock cover that says "patent" on it is an interesting piece. And what colonial relic hunt would be complete without a few suspender buckle pieces. 
Here's a couple pics of last weeks finds.
This morning I met my hunting buddy Steve for another hunt. Our plan was to hit an old site we haven't hit before. We didn't do too well here. I have a sneaky suspicion this spot may have been hunted before. It's not too well hidden (pretty close to the road) so this is very possible. I did turn up several spoon pieces and a few lantern pieces as is typical with sites like these......but the finds were few and far between. The best find from this site was a button with a star on the front. It's a two piece button with a backmark that appears to say Kendrick Co. Extra.
After hunting this site for a while we changed locations and hunted another old homesite that is still in use. I found a broken pocket watch, a few spoon pieces, and two wheat pennies here before I made my best find of the day. A small gold pendant that says "Queen Elizabeth The Second" on both sides. I actually thought for a quick second that I found a gold coin but no such luck.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Still an interesting find. 
It's small. Only about the size of a half dime. I don't think its too old because it wasn't very deep (only about 1 inch). Here's a couple pictures of todays finds. Thanks for looking. By the way. I have to thank Steve for taking the pictures today. I'm in between cameras now. My old one broke a couple weeks ago.
