New spot

[Joe-Dirt]

Out for a very cold afternoon hunt with a buddy. The property is a former tavern built in 1790 with the remains of a earlier tavern on property of unknown age but the town has been occupied since the 1640’s. This place has 60 acres of beautiful rolling hills overlooking the Connecticut border. I’ll post some additional pictures if I find anything else this weekend. Anyway, pulled up a KGII and a KGIII and some buttons before I got cold and needed a beer.
Happy turkey day😀

What wonderful potential in that site. I'd love to detect it or one like it.

Nice! You certainly earned that beer!

Joe-Dirt,,hi Take your time here,,I think that you will find so so much history ,good luck

 

[Digger RJ]

Nice!!!!! Hopefully some Silver there too!!! Congrats!!!!

First time on here in months. Good to see you still at it. Personal training has kept me swamped.

Dirt, I see a William III in your future from that site.

You're the only guy I know that finds KGs like most of us find wheat cents

 

[CRUSADER]

Looks promising.

I hope I do too, I’ve found 2 KWIII this year and both were smoked, one had a “date” before I cleaned it but another would be awesome. I’m pretty sure the KGIII is counterfeit, it only rang up a 19 on my Nox

Wow 2 old colonial tavern sites!? If you haven't looked for the old outhouse pits that would be my absolute #1 priority, the bottles, stoneware, knickknacks and drunkenly dropped coins in there would almost certainly blow away anything you're likely to detect, could be a goldmine waiting for you! Not knocking your nice old coins at all but the privy pits could be loaded with banner finds, I hope you try finding them!

I agree, but the property owner would kill us.................to death. The property is a very well kept country estate with rolling hills bordered by stone walls and giant old hardwood trees that stretches around 60 acres. Even in the middle of the hayfields I’m careful with my plugs, last thing I want is to have this permission revoked. My buddy has pounded one of the fields that was consistently cut over the last few years and has pulled over 40 coppers and several big silver coins. This year all six fields are down, only drawback about the existing tavern is it’s surrounded by a fenced horse enclosure so no detecting. On the bright side, we can return as much as we want.

Sounds like a beautiful property, thanks for the additional details. Maybe there would be some good old pontiled bottle dumps along or just over the stone walls but I guess that's not really viable either. I hope you find that pile of pillar dollars spilled during a 18th century drunken brawl, maybe some dropped Silver from around the ole cockfighting ring too!

 

[Hogtown Hunter]

Congrats on the coins. Looks like you have a promising spot. You always have great posts. Are you retired or something? You seem to get to detect 3-4 times a week. I'm just jealous cause I'm lucky to go once a week.

Oh man, ancient taverns must make awesome places to scan around. All those drunken pioneers fumbling around with their coins after getting drunk by lamplight ... I bet people will be finding money I lost after drinking 350 years from now.
