Reid and I went back for the 3rd time last Friday to hit our strange site that has been producing a few colonial finds, but mostly coins and tokens from the mid-1800s to about 1910. As I've stated before, we feel this is some sort of a store site based on what we've been digging. The main area has been hit quite hard, but still continues to produce. By going slow in the iron and stubble, and digging iffy signals we've been able to add to our totals. On Friday I was able to get another silver - an 1887 seated dime - and Reid got himself a barber dime In addition to a few more IHs, buttons and tokens I was also able to recover 2 heart-shaped pendants from the Jamestown Exposition in 1892. But they're quite toasted as are many of the other finds. The first pic below shows my finds from last Friday, and the last 2 represent a compilation of all the buttons, tokens and coins to come from this site so far. The grand totals for me are about 40 buttons, 5 silver coins, 20+ IHs, 4 liberty nickels, about 25 tokens, and 2 Jamestown Exposition pendants. Not sure when/if we'll make another trip there, but I'm sure we haven't come close to cleaning out the place yet.
