Recent finds from a new site

[Bill D. (VA)]

Reid got permission for a site we've been researching for a while, and we've hit it 3 times in the last couple of weeks. It may not be the mid-1600s site we thought, but looks like we're getting close.

Hey, Bill, it looks like you guys are hot on the trail of a Colonial dwelling. I am taking special notice to the Colonial buckles (spur, shoe, and knee). It is your time to shine in Virginia, my friend. It has been awhile since you were swinging that coil. Welcome back to the Colonial world, Bill.

I must ask, are you and Reid going to be digging out the trash pit at this site?

Keep the passion high!

Posts like this make me depressed. I would be happy just to find a pottery shard and you post something like this........

Kirk - you can bet we'll become human moles as soon as we locate any trash pits. There's lots of possibilities, but we're gonna try to complete most of the surface hunting before we start digging some test holes in some of the suspect spots. And yes - its very nice to be back out in the fields. Good luck ..... Bill

three hunts and three old cut Spanish, that's about as good as it gets , it's always nice to have a new site to pick on for a while, and give you something to look forward to upon a return! good luck with it

[Don in SJ]

Hey Bill, those dang IH's don't count for your copper to silver ratio! You guys had a great hunt, nothing bad there, wow 3 cut silver, I still have found zippo here in South Jersey. Cut coppers, but no cut silver. Glad to see you getting the time to finally get out again, think snow is heading for Va.

Between the day job and LSM, I haven't gotten too much coil time this year. My dad has been deployed for the last 9 months. I caught up with him up in RI for a weekend back in the summer and we dug with Bill L. for a day. We are hoping to dig some holes the week before Christmas. Good luck diggin!
