The Mohawk Valley is THAWING !! 
Was supposed to be partly sunny and in the upper 40's but by 2 PM it was overcast and barely 40 but my selected sites are ever so slowly becoming less and less snow covered so after work I headed a few miles east to a place I hunted last year where I dug colonial relics and fired up the dusty DFX.
First hour was non productive and a bit disappointing but I was'nt thorwing in the towel..Its an area less then 1/2 a mile from a pre F & I war fort , and is paralle to the original Kings Highway and the Mohawk river.
Worked into a briar patch and was rewarded with a solid coin ID....target the plug and first coin of 2008 , a 1717 KG I farthing !
In great shape to !
Near that dug a colonial button and a dropped musketball.
Closer to the river targeted a iffy high/low tone ID and expected another button but dug coin No#2...Not much detail but guessing a KG I
Last but not least my final find turned out to be the nut that connects the coil to the lower shaft on my old XLT
A bit ironic !
After a brutal winter ...getting out and having a fun day hunting is good for the soul !!

My Avatar is the Halfpence for that year.
Derek, it is nice to see the WHITE'S pro getting out and swinging with true John Walter-style.
Colonial school?
