Got out to a couple new sites for a full day of swinging with two of my hunting partners. First find of the day for me were a few buttons and then popped out the early Royal Artillery button and then the half French 4 Sol from the center of the iron patch...1670s. That set the pace for the rest of the day. Dug a few more buttons and coppers from that site before moving on to the second.
Second site was more scattered but the buttons and coppers were still flowing. Dug the decent George II copper and the French Marines button side by side. Dug a few more coppers and then popped out a mystery copper...smaller than the rest with "MARC" clearly visible. Sent a couple pics to Iron Patch and he was able to ID it as a 1619 1/2 Soldo from Venice. Pretty sure that's the oldest coin I've dug and was able to ID.
Last target of the day was dug as we were leaving the field. This is something I've wanted to dig since I started detecting. A Georgian era toy cannon...in perfect condition!
By far my favorite and best hunt of the year.
19 Buttons (2 Military)
12 Coppers
2 Musketballs
1 (half) Silver
1 AWESOME Cannon!
