Well finally made it out this month for a full days hunt…We decided to a few new spots along with a couple of old ones.. One spot we took a small boat to an island with that produced a lot of junk but managed to retrieve a 1931 10 cent and a couple of musket balls, coming back from the island, it was a very low tide and we actually had to get out and drag the boat out, then it started to down pour and if that wasn't it enough 2 Rottweiler's met us on shore and wouldn't let us land the boat. Well lets just say thank god I had my shovel with me and those dogs shouldn't bother anyone for some time.
The finds were scare but managed a couple new to me finds…. Went to a field we hit in the past and "again" like many other times I decided to try the edge of the field saying to myself, "I wonder if" sure enough not 5 minutes later I pull out a 1874 dime, my second of the year. Other finds include toasty coins with at least and ID, a Geo II, french coin, agricultural coin and 2 toasty large cents. The old padlock was a first for me, only found newer ones…Also a very neat item was this piece of pewter with the what looked like it was going to be passed as a 8 Reale coin, you can see the pillars of hercules etc…Any input on this one?
Other finds are the usual musket balls, buckles and buttons with a huge thick one….
