I kid you not, another Trade Axe and Big Silver

[The Patriot]

Well I'm sure you guys and gals are tired of me posting these pesky Trade Axes, but honestly I tried another site about 25 miles away from the last one. Plus this is by far the largest one to date, as the look on my sons face. Other finds from this site include a total of 7 coppers that I found with one given to the farmer, he was quite pleased…Several buckles and one button…no musket balls once again (weird how it works) Now the silver was a pleasant but unexpected find in another field on the way home… Lots of those mosquitos out there but the deet kept them away but I can't feel my face . Thanks for looking!

I had a good feeling when the farmer said there was a foundation way down by the edge of the river! I'm sure there was more around, it seemed the signals were hiding well. Congrats on the big silver! Could have easily missed that one, good thing I hit those buttons so we didn't move on so quickly haha!

This fall should hold some more goodies….You are right…only because you pulled out those 2 old buttons is why we stuck around longer than normal… thanks buddy!!

No this area had tons of french settlers since the 1600's...found at a foundation site

Hudsons Bay company was operating back to the 1670's, it very well could have been through them. They were a big player in the colonial trade.

Looks french to me, but I am no expert. If french or british, it may have a maker's mark. Still on my list, as for the silver. Congrats!
