Wow, another fantastic day with Rick NS on the fields that don't stop giving. We struggled a little at first today not getting much at all but then we shifted into high gear. Rick got his 150th & 151st copper for the year. I got some more musket balls and an Enfield bullet. then we moved over to a field we pounded earlier this season. Our plan was to only spend an hour at this site and then go hit an old Baseball field that is sure to turn up some silver but we started to get into the old stuff which we both love so we spent the rest of the day at the early site.
Picked up 6 coppers, in can clearly see the date on one, "1775" and more detail on some of the others. I should be able to nail them down when I have more time.
But the best find for me was a Royal Navy's Captain/Commander's button (circa 1770's) with a good bit of the gold gilding left on it. I think that Rick found his Dress Uniform button as well.
Rick scored some Spanish silver as well.
Boy, what a day. It just doesn't get much better then this.:icon_thumright:
