Popped a few coppers, colonial relics, interesting brooch, old copper crucifix.

Came across a productive little colonial spot cold searching in the woods. It's an old part of town, near the original plots settled around 1670. The area with the original homesteads are now a bunch of mc mansions, some with very large properties which I assume were colonial fields at one point, but there's a fairly large parcel of town open space near by that had some interesting terrain details that caught my eye going by my favorite satellite imagery of the area so I decided to buzz around. After 3 hrs and about 5 miles of nothing but shotgun shells and a few musket balls, I finally hit a little hot spot.

Popped a few toasty coppers, one that looked like a KG II before it completely disintegrated when it dried out, and the other I can still make out "one cent" on, looks like a draped bust, too toasty to get a date.

Got a few cool buttons, a big ol' dandy and a cool little gold rimmed flatty, what looks like half a spectacle buckle, saddle guide?, a hefty old brooch? that took me like 15 min to dig up, damn thing was over a foot deep and digging holes that deep in connecticut woods is an adventure. Towards the end I ended up fiding an old copper crucifix, guess the spot decided to get into the holiday spirit. I actually found the Jesus statuette first and was about to walk away but swung over the hole one more time and still had a signal, the cross part was a few inches in the side of the plug, good reminder to always double check your holes I guess.

Thanks guys, I'll beep around the spot some more next week and see what I missed. Not really hoping for silver, it's been eluding me this year, dug plenty of relics, probably 50 or 60 buttons and a handful of toasty coppers this year but still no silver. I wanted to do some cold searching in the woods before the ticks show up in full force but it's usually 90% legwork with no reward, once the weather gets warmer I'll try some of my mid 1800's areas I've been researching and maybe hit some silver for the year.
