Not a Bad Kick-Off!!!

[romeo-1]

The snow has melted and the ground is soft so - called Tony and we hit the fields! First field we hit was a site we started last fall but couldn't finish because there were still beans on one patch. The beans are gone now but the targets weren't as plentiful as we hoped. I can't complain because I did get an 1859 One Shilling in decent condition!

The second site was my Old Faithful which is still producing and will most likely continue to do so for the next several years! Got what I think is a military Tudor Rose button...will need to do some research to confirm. My favorite find is a older musket escutcheon...possible off a pistol due to the smaller size. It was a very nice day and a rare February land hunt!

That musket escutcheon is really nice. The pewter button is interesting. Hope your research turns up military.

It's great to be out nevermind actually find something. Sure don't see too many of those early escutcheons turn up. Funny I have a bunch of 1800s sixpence but never dug a Shilling... so I'll call it a keeper too!

Those are some pretty decent finds right there!
The thumb plate is pretty cool and the shilling is very clean!

Yep, looks like a very good start to me! Now let's hope the mild winter doesn't leave us buried in ticks

Great looking shilling but that escutcheon plate is a beauty. Hell of a February hunt. We are snow free in Maine. Just need a few warm days. I bought a new coil, got my T2 upgraded and I'm buying a sea kayak Saturday. All this in an effort to win my bet with IP this season lol. I will do whatever it takes
