Sorry to post several hunts. I don't get on the forum as much as I would like. These finds were mostly from knocking on doors and getting permissions. The 2 Barber dimes with the SLQ and Indians came from one morning at an old favorite park. Funny, these are bucket list items for most, but I don't go to this park that often as it's a bit over an hours drive and believe it or not, I'm looking for older coins. I did find a number of them at the permissions with the earliest being a 1729 KG II copper. The photo with the Walker came from a door knock with a friend and he found a Walker too. Again, believe it or not, in some ways we were a bit disappointed as the house was built in 1690 and we were hoping for older stuff. Really can't complain though when I pull 4 silvers including a Walker in a little over an hour. I love this hobby and love door knocking on old homes. I love the chauffer's badge, it's my 4th and newest. The diamond shaped copper plate is thick and came from either a master carpenter or shipbuilders chest prior to 1770. I figured I'd throw in a few pics of some of the homes we hunted.
Sorry to put so much in one post. Just trying to catch up a little. I'm sure I left stuff out.
Photo below at left is from and old park and at right is from two different houses that was owned by the same person.
1690 permission at left and random door knock at right. Nice little knee buckler.
Couple of LC's at left below and a Revolutionary War bridle badge.
Not many, but a few nice finds from a permission. This is a second, different knee buckle from that above.
1795 Liberty Cap LC at left and chauffer badge at right.
Master Carpenter or Shipbuilders tool chest plate. C.1770. 4" x 2" by 1/4" thick
Below are some of the homes detected with permission.
House at right below had a small outbuilding in the back and the guy had his own pub. Invited us back for beers.
