Today's quick hunt yeilds two more spanish silvers and other goodies!! On a roll!
Well the summer of silver has continued as a quick trip out this morning turned up some more colonial spanish silver coins.
In one particular area I dug a pile of early flashing made of lead. This site has produced numerous pieces of this of both lead and copper/brass and always with square nail holes. I believe I have uncovered a small wreck of some sort and with each trip I believe it to be more and more true.
Anyways it was a very snake filled day today - they were EVERYWHERE!! floating by, swimming along, just enjoying the day as was I. I managed to dig a few more musketballs and lead shot of various calibers along with a few flat buttons. One of my favorite finds was the S Cook marked inner workings (tang) to a shoe buckle.
I have found a good amount of these lead pieces with designs...I suspect they are from window pains (lead framed) though am open to other suggestions.
My first target of the day was the cut pistareen and one of my last was the 1816 1/2 reale (cleaned up nicely). This makes 15 or 16 silver coins from the summer and I have not been able to venture out as much as I usually do.
