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! 
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!
