Last Hunt of 2013 = 2 More Coppers!

[The Rebel]

Got out early this am & temps were 23 when I left home. I went back to an area I haven't been back to in about a year. There are a few holes in this area. Now that the snow & ice melted & it was going to warm up today I decided to go back now that I'm move in tune with my V3i.

Not much finds at my 1st site except this beautiful gold gilted sash buckle. I will have to go back & use my 6x10 eclipse as there was a lot of iron there.

Next hole was the best. Got a hit & Bam, 1786 CT Copper, HELL Yea! My 3rd this season. Not more than a foot away (1 swing) Bam, 1822 Cornet LC (only off 1 year either way from a key date). After that tings quieted down & got some buttons & a cool watch winder. Any ideas on a date, I'm guessing early 1800's. Wondered around some more & found the skeleton key. Also found 2 Wheaties.

By the end of the day it warmed up to 53 & man was my pack heavy with all my extra clothes I had to take off

My last hunt with Frank got me a tip of a pewter utensil as well as the working parts of a parasol. The springs inside still work.

Wish I could upload pictures, what's going on?

HH in 2014!

Nice finds. Judging from the photos in the link I believe the CT is a Miller 5.5-M. There is also a 5.6-M, but the colon after the word CONNEC is different. Here's the one I have in my collection.
