Slim pickings but a few first...

[The Patriot]

Nothing too exciting being found today...tried a few new sites that didn't produce what I thought they would, but isn't that the way... here are the finds including a few first such as a complete spigot, 1857 flying eagle cent and this huge axe head... also managed this gold gilted button from an early colonial site which I thought would come in better shape but you can't win them all...

WOW!!! That's a great hunt in my book! I've never seen a complete spiggot and that axe is a beauty. I hope you plan to restore it. What are the odds of finding a FE cent in your area?

Hope to see you soon!

Those are good finds. Was that your first flying eagle? I have been lucky enough to find 3, but I have seen diggers go for decades without finding their first one.

I have never gotten a complete spigot.




Cheers,

a flying eagle? wow that would make my day! congrats

 

[Skelly607]

Now thats an ax head!!!! Nice finds!

 

[Hunthicks]

Glad you came away with a couple nice finds! I thought we were really in for a good one, the first site we tried might be worth a return at some point when it's not as hard as concrete. I might post what I found up tomorrow, but it was a pretty quiet day for me!

I guess Paul Bunyan grew up there. That thing is huge. Cool spigot too!

At least possible twice. I have one from there, two from here.

Your "Made The Banner" list is looking a little on the short side there, buddy.

Looks like a good hunt to me. Nice FE. Been able to dig 3 myself. 2 this year.

Well what can you do when 5k finds don't go up.

Option 1- dig

I'm wondering it that might be a broad hatchet. Is the blade offset a little bit?

 

[muleskinner]

I would be geeked just with the spigot! The fatty would put me over the top!

nice relics MR TUFF

Maybe not quantity but definitely excellent quality in your finds I always prefer to dig out a couple of good keepers to digging a lot of cr%p.

haven't seen many dug from here... funny I have 2 1787 Conn. coppers, would rather earlier american coins but I'll still take this one...

Looks like a few more than slim pickings to me . The ax is definitely a big boy. Dig every beep . That place seems loaded with relics and the coins are still out there . Minus the flyin' eagle of course . Nice hunt and finds CMD
