Out today with the Cladman as Ironhorse isn't back in town for a while. To our surprise the place we went was plowed late last Fall and that gave us the choice of two good fields. I know IH wants to get on the bigger one so we left that alone and stuck to the small one which was early French. The dig was going to plan until we started popping Rev War buttons! :tongue3: Last year we had dug a couple but they were at the big field, not the little French site. Of course we were not complaining! The real keeper is the 3rd New York Volunteers button and should be quite a bit better after cleaning. Not much to see now so I added the image to show what it should look like. Cladman's other finds beside the 3rd was an RP - another Rev War Loyalist button (Royal Provincials), a ships token, French Liard (Circa. 1600s), Early French seal marked Joseph, and a very cool silver piece which we think might be off a musket and possibly the corner piece of a butt plate. I will post it on the what is it forum.

My finds weren't too bad either. RP button, a couple of French seals - one dated which is cool, a Communion token that is local to the area I dug it and a first for me, and a couple French Liards that are cut down and kinda neat. I have no idea what purpose they would serve like that.

So a good start to 2010 and my Iron Bro Ironhorse will be back soon, and the plan is set for hunts with what will be the rotating 3rd member. (Cladman, Romeo, & the Patriot) Look out PA Colonial Bros.... it's on! :headbang:

The large coppers are in the next field... The one we saved for Ironhorse!

Not sure why they did that to the French coins.

Kinda curious why they did it and funny you found two the same day. Have you ever found them like that before?
 

All nice finds! :thumbsup: Very well done for your start to a new year of digging :thumbsup: I'm sure there will be plenty more for you this year you know how to do it for sure! :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright: I do think your silver piece is from a musket sure looks close to the one I found awhile back other then yours is silver! :laughing7: Must of been a fancy sucker at one time. :thumbsup:
Pete!

Nope. These sites tend to turn up the same type of coppers so seeing small ones through me off. Only when I got home did I realize what was going on. These coins date right on with the site and exactly what we expect to find, so to be manipulated like that in the mid. 1700s is very strange.
 

You made it happen as I told you to in the email yesterday. :headbang: I agree, game is on now, IP. :icon_sunny:

We are heading out to a new site tomorrow. It is close to our last site, so we expect some Georgies and early coppers to pop. Because of Easter, it is just a cool down hunt for us, so we won't get too upset if nothing killer pops. If it is not super productive, we will be seeking permission for a new site for the 11th!

I have more than several! So many that we'll never come close to hunting them in 4 days.
 

No big wheels? :dontknow:

I have way more than several. We won't be able to hunt them in an entire lifetime. ;D
