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

Here in Maryland I stop in April in the fields, as by about the 15th they are planted. The woods also get ticks, snakes, horrible monsters and such. From then on its the beach. Sometimes lawns, but that ends by June 30 as the baby yellow jackets start to come out.

Tn.... your season just began did it not ?

Yep just starting. Have to watch for the Turkey hunters but waiting for the Tennessee valley to drain out and creeks recede.

Well done D. Way to take advantage of what mother nature does to the beach.

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

I always wonder how much trash people have to sort through to get the good stuff, how many holes do u think u dug

Unless I'm at one of our honey holes I would say usually 1 out of 25 plugs is something good. I easily dig up to 100 holes each outing if not more depending how long of a day I put in. But there is times you get on a site and theres literally no trash and every target is a relic of some sort. Those are good days. Chase the iron then youll find the goods. Happy Hunting
