Went with Mr Mortar to a couple of old sites this morning. We went to one of my permissions, an 1800s house in the woods. Nabbed some 40s-50s pennies and a 1963 nickle with Lustre. My buddy found another artillery shell. He just can't go anywhere with out finding some type of explosive! This one has been drilled so it's safe. I pulled a gorgeous sterling bangle. This thing is heavy! Also got a 1912 LC. I got a few other things from there but nothing special. We decided to move on to the button/cartwheel hole. Right out of the gate, I pulled a flat button. Lots of water and mud but there were a few targets that I was able to get my coil over. Found two half pennies...slick. one is worn thin and the other has a faint outline of a harp. Picked up some pottery and the usual clay pipe parts. On the way back to the truck, I got a signal between a couple of foundation stones. Ended up being a trigger guard! Funny story: when we got there, there was this pipe, about 3 feet long that was half buried in the mud. I picked it up and tossed it in a puddle to get it out of the way. Thinking back, I may have tossed a musket barrel! Everything is 200+ years old at that site. I should have checked it out first. Oh well, I'll head back another time and get it. Thanks for looking guys!

Nice finds I don't think there was a 1912LC 1812 maybe? Nice bracelet
 

Exactly. It's a Canadian 1912 LC.
 

The trigger guard is for a Kentucky Rifle. Nice find!
 

I looked it up and it makes sense to me. The cellar hole was once the homestead of a loyalist from Pennsylvania (1780s)
 

Congrats on the LC and the bracelet. :occasion14: Nice finds.
