John and I made it to a new place we've been eyeing up for years. It's roughly 200 years old with an older foundation right next to their property. The ground conditions were perfect, wet but no soggy. One of my first recoveries was that cool old key, one of the largest I have ever gotten it's 4 3/8 inches in length. Found 4 buttons , some spoons, one is heavily plated. The object in the upper right corner is a 2 ounce chunk of copper, looks like it may have been melted. Sometype of clam or oyster shell in the shape of an arrowhead and a first for me a " Plug Tobacco" container. Also managed to find this 1825 Largie, kind of beat but I'll take it. We hope to get back out there tomorrow.
