With field availability finally showing some improvement, I've found time to get out for a couple half day hunts recently. Unfortunately, the only sites Dan and I could hit were ones we've had hunted hard in previous years, but we all know you can't get it all, especially in these huge fields. The best find of the bunch was a relatively plain but fairly early 17th century spectacle buckle. It came from a small knoll that had produced a half dozen colonial silvers, but overall the finds were hard to come by although I did recover a large piece to a small iron pot which is now cooking in the tank. Another site produced a few more targets with the most interesting being a fleur-de-lis shaped hinge with a worn maker's mark on the back. Other than that just a few buttons and other misc finds. Although the cotton and beans are being cut, it's about time for the deer hunters to start taking over which will leave few sites to hunt until the first of the year. And by then I'll hopefully have access to a couple of heavily researched sites that I've been trying to get into for some time, so hopefully permission can be secured for both.
