ShipWreck Coins & Confederate buckle

[dfallis1]

Started the weekend off at a well known beach with several shipwrecks off shore. More than likely a lot more that is undocumented. I went there after the first storm and recovered a KG II half penny. We figured after the fourth nor'easter it might be a good idea to check the sand conditions. At first I was disappointed, we didn't see much erosion just a few beach ponds. After swinging 3 hours only pulling out modern change we switched tactics and hit a hotspot of heavies. First signal my buddy got was semi-weak but deep, after removing 6 inches it became a screamer. Around 15 inches down was a 8 cob. We checked the surrounding area and I recovered a 1775 KG III half penny. I love these coins.


Day 2 we decided to go back to a private permission, one of our nasty iron infested Civ sites. All the rain and snow did good, there was a few surface finds. I mainly stayed in one little area working real slow through all the iron and burnt debri. I ended up with 2 clay marbles 1 glass, clay pipe broken, brass skeleton key, several buttons 2 eagles, a few 19th C. buckles and 1 suspender buckle. The best find of the day was this almost perfect Confederate Snake buckle. It was missing the keepers but I found one iron keeper just a few feet away. I am soo excited to add this beauty to the collection. This season is coming to a end quick. I have noticed some farms already being prepped for seeding. I had a blast with some good people. Thanks for looking GL & HH

Really wonderful bunch of finds! Those coins are in great shape too, given their age. I'd say you had a couple of fantastic days.

Snakes starting to come out isn't even funny. Because I don't want one ambushing me! We have matching snakes!
Here's one I got in January. How funny is that! Remember this one? There are numerous types out there. I call these the happy snakes. I put a little too much clearcoat on mine.

Your snake looks nicer than my snake! I call this one the "happy snake". It has a stupid grin on it's face. A few years ago I found a keeper, the ring end. I had two dealers try to buy it off of me. I guess they are hard to come by.

Thank you Silvermonkey. It took a little cleaning to get those coins looking like that. Crusty and pitted

Everyone, please look at the item by itself in the third picture. It looks like a crown on the brass. Shape reminds me of a sword hanger. Anyone have any ideas? Really cool.

Fantastic hunt. I could end my season with one like that!

 

[dfallis1]

What I don't and should show is all the trash and iron pulled out of these locations. Buckets. Also gas/ toll receipts, miles put on vehicles, sometimes a sickday from work LOL Is it worth it? HECK YEA
