Group shot of finds from the coin spill site including this week's

This has been an unexpectedly productive site with 3 separate hotspots so far.

Next to the 13 button, and below the arrow head is what looks to me like an imported English gun flint.

Yep, that was a gun flint I eyeballed recently in the middle of the button hotspot.

Is that a hoe or an adze? And I like the little cannon too! Won't talk about the silver though. TOo choked up with envy!

That's what's left of a small hoe after electrolysis.

Wonderful collection of artifacts. I thought I viewed an example of a sutler token in the group. It does not seem that anyone questioned you on that and I thought you might tell us what it says and maybe a picture of it by itself. I happen to liked tokens and the history behind them.
Help us out.

The utterly amazing thing to me is that you have found both halfs of that Corolius III! Is it 1789?

Great catch Tuberale!!! I had no idea they were matching pieces. I do know they were found about 50-75 ft apart in the coin spill area. I've found multiple cut pieces at a number of different sites, but this is the first time I've found 2 that match - thanks to you!! Here's a couple pics so you can see they definitely came from the same coin. Thanks again for that brilliant observation.

Yes Bond, that is indeed a sutler's token. On the obverse it reads "G. McAlpin - Sutler - 11 Penn Cavalry", and a "10" is stamped on the reverse. I'm attaching a couple pics right after it was dug. And the link below shows all the details on a high quality example. Hope this helps ..... Bill

Re: Group shot of finds from the coin spill site including this week's

Finding cut early Spanish is fairly commonplace. Finding both pieces of the same coin? BANNER!

This site is going to continue to keep producing. Banner finds for sure. I can't wait to see what else you find.

Great stuff Bill, you need to get our blood going with a video fix of some of that terrific colonial stuff coming out of the ground, A very 'productive' site indeed

I'd like to do some video Josh but have not had much success with that in the past. I need to find a way to secure a camera to a hat, detector, etc, instead of trying to hold it in one hand while digging with the other. I know there are a lot of different ways of doing that, but just haven't taken the time to make it happen. Maybe one day ....

Thanks for your comments ..... Bill
