that hunted out park again

[wwwtimmcp]

I got out for a 3 hour hunt today and managed to fing another turban head large cent. it will need cleaning but should give a date. a silver spoon handle with "jas" hallmark, I will have to do some research to find the maker. 7 colonial era buttons, and of course another 2lbs of sinkers.

happy hunting to all.

WTG, Although well hit, I believe that there is not an area in the USA that is totally hunted out! Seek and ye shall find!

I maybe wrong but the spoon looks pewter to me...

Looks like that place produces some old finds!

that park gave you some nice looking finds !!

crusader, most silver objects retrieved underwater get a coating on them called silver oxide. in the presence of iron they will turn black as coal. this one was in clay. all my silver coins found in this area look exactly the same. sort of a blue color. all my clad coins turn copper colored from electrolysis. gold stays just like when it was made nice and pretty.

update: the hallmark is not "jas" it is "J 'star' s" john spackman II london circa 1737. I'm tickled pink.
