Been hitting this site hard since popping a 1/2 cut cob in rough shape. Is a pre 1713 treaty of Utrecht French colonial site with later British finds mixed in. It's a salt water beach so most finds are in rough shape, but I keep going back lol. 228 musket balls and lead shot, a ton of lead, and broken pipes. Silver spoon, nice French buckle, 5 liard de France, double turnois, nice British navy button that must of just eroded on the beach. Interesting find is coconut husk, def not native to the area, any ideas why it would be there?

Nice assortment of finds Cerebus. Thanks for sharing...
 

Great selection of finds, liking the buckle. The old saying lead is your friend but it seems to be a tad much at your site. Lots of activity there that's for sure.
 

Nice finds, congratulations! Looks like the place has many more goodies to be found! :icon_thumleft:
 

the husk might have been used as packing material for something probably coming out of the West Indies. More than likely spices or rum
 

Congrat's to you on some nice finds cerebus. Keep at this area. There is bound to be more artifacts where these came from. Continued Success to you.
 

pallen beat me to it, I also think packing material

Coconuts float all over the world, and sprout where the climate is right (not in Canada).
 

Wow! That looks like a site where dreams are made. You can never get everything no matter how hard you detect, so I hope you continue finding killer relics.
 

Lots of excellent targets,, you could probably stay busy at that site for awhile.
Congratulations on your finds
 

Looks like a lot of digging ! And a lot of nice saves :occasion14:
 

Congratulations on a good variety of finds!
 

that is a ton of digging
with the spread of finds of various ages you just never know what could pop out next!
the old coins are decent for their age and from the shore, lucky
 

Just a matter of time and persevere until oro comes out of the ground there ...
 

coconut husk must have floated over from oak island ( it was used to pack the ark of the covenant)
 

Judging by the amount of lead I do believe you beat that one good!
 

WHOA! You got quite the workout plucking all those targets from the dirt. Some very nice old relics for sure though. Must have been fun raking all that in.:headbang:
