More from the 1700s

A friend and I got together for what was supposed to be a full day of digging. Unfortunately, the weather didn't feel like cooperating, so a late afternoon/evening hunt had to scratch the itch...and scratch we did! The May flies were insane! I don't remember ever seeing them this bad, especially along the shores of Atlantic Canada. It was a fight to the finish, but landed a few keepers. 7 buttons, including one roached pewter, musketball, blank cut copper coin, 1792 Camac Kyan & Camac Dublin conder token and a Silver WWII pin (Army Navy Productivity Award, from another site.) Happy to leave with a fist full of goodies, even if we lost a pint of blood in the process.

Nice finds RM. You need some of that snow NL got today. That would knock the population of flies down for the next outing.

Very cool Condor token
Excellent finds

Nice finds, as bad as the bugs can be at times, the worst are the ones that fly away full of your own blood. Hate when they win.

Haha thanks!
