Making Choices...

[CRUSADER]

Yesterday Dad tried 3 different fields, & ended up with a nice copper As of Domitian. So we decided to start on that field. After 1.5 hours of only 1 scrappy, we moved over the road to our No.1 Field, but after 2.5 hours we had very little to show for it. These fields need a deep plough so we will put them to rest for a couple of years.

The search continues for a better option & we now have lots to choose from.

Had the same yesterday. Some fields just need some years and a couple plows. The As is a real beauty! Very rare to get one in this condition from plowed land.

Still amazes me the age of what you find. A 200 year old coin in the USA is a rare find. The thought of who, when, and where such things came from puts your playground in a whole different league than ours. Congrats

What is that item in the second picture like the top of a key head with what looks like a cross on it....found 2 of those recently at a colonial site seems like they connected to a smaller piece...
