Got out with my buddy to the "Silver Field"! It's about 50 acres & we've "vacuumed" it so hard that some days we don't find anything!!
We did find a little this afternoon....
I had just walked into the field & my second diggable signal was the silver "triangle" on the right. You can't see it in the picture, but it is "touchmarked" BA by the suspension hole. I will have to do some research to see who this Montreal silversmith was & when he was in business.
All I dug the rest of the afternoon was scraps of brass, musketballs (& more modern bullets) & the brass button.
Then, as I was walking out of the field, I dug the second triangle!
My buddy dug a scrap of cut trade silver, a silver triangle with the letters "AL" (partial "Montreal" stamp) on the back. He also dug a partial trade ring & two brass "tinklers".
Not a lot of stuff but a fun afternoon with a good buddy!
