Rainy Day Hunt = Colonial Goodies!

[The Rebel]

Got up REAL early today 4:30 to the sound of rain. . Had some coffee and hit the road by 5:15 to the spot I discovered last year where I got my 2 CT Coppers & my KG III. Well into the woods I went in the rain & suited up with my rain poncho. My mood was about the same as the weather. I had been dying to get out & it rains.

Anyhow my 1st target was the merc at the lip of the hole. At 1st thought reale but saw it was a merc. As the day went buy the rain picked up but then tapered off & the sun made rare appearance.

Hit a few cool buttons & my 1st complete pewter button with a nice design on it. As I continued along got a real deep signal about 8-10" & out popped my 1st complete shoe buckle!

Got a good signal under some roots & got a set of cuff links. If anyone can ID, I'd appreciate it. I'm hoping it's British Military, seeing Frank dug his cannon ball here.

Well finally hit the road @ 12:30 after at least 6hrs. Felt good to get home & shower off & get into dry clothes.

Hope everyone has a change to get out this weekend.

Thanks In Advance,
Roger

Thanks again guys for all of your help & comments!

It was identified by Bramblefind as being French. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,426317.msg3043027.html#new

@B|lker: perhaps a hunter dropped it

@Deno: it sure is/was. Dave & a buddy hit this place up hard. Dave got his chain LC here & our buddy got a cannonball.

@Old Stonewall: Most of these sites are just out in open space areas but way deep into the woods or along side back country roads.

Hey Dave. It was in the back by where Frank got the Nova. It was on the downward slope into the hole. Would you agree this site is really wierd? Hopefully it's a bottomless pit of coppers
