soaked Easter bunnies fell from the sky--still got FAT, 1940 birdband & game piece

wind was blowin' harder than a car salesman doing balloons for the "once in a lifetime sales event" for crappy overpriced cars
rain drenched my hopes for a longer hunt. fields get planted this week, so the 1686 farm is history.
SBPA 1940 birdband, a 1/8 musket ball gaming piece ( about a half dozen from there last year), and Sarah Longacre put on some extra weight in her first few years of being handled by the peeps.

Nice finds. I found a 1976 birdband this spring. I entered the serial number on my Illinois USGS sight and they sent me a PDF certificate showing their appreciation for entering the information on their sight. Pretty cool actually. You may wish to try it if you haven't already.

I like that bird band. I do the same as Kurious1. I enter the information to receive the certificate. Its nice to see the back round info on the bird. Nice find.

appears there was a camp setup on the field and the time was passed playing games. they cut or shaped roundballs for use as game pieces. we found 1/2, 1/4, curved, thumb fit carved, flattened shapes, squared and holed flattened musket balls. no video games to play in the 1700 & 1800's .
