Weekend's Relics
First let me say WOW ! Going down through Today's Finds I was amazed at what was pulled out of the ground this weekend. Fugio Cent doubled, Sword Belt Plate, Large Cents just to name a few, there is lots more. What a Great time of year to be out.
Hunted with DeArmitt, Mach I & II Saturday at the place we took out 3 1798 Largies on Sept 4th. I tryed setting up the E-Trac a little different to see if we could find anymore there. Mach I had the first find of the day with an 1804 half cent, kind of toasted but readable front and back. Mach II got 4 wheaties in the same hole. I had a surprise find which was a mortarball fragment. Forbes' troops camped near here on their way to Pittsburgh. I just love that kind of iron !
Then it was onto a harvested field that we've hunted for years. It keeps on giving up some goodies. We dug some Musketballs there. DeArmitt got the 4 and I got 2 and some lead.
Sunday afternoon Mach I called to see if I could come out and play at an old house site. I lucked into this General Service Button. What a Great way to end the weekend. Now it's back to work for 5 days of torture until Saturday. We did a 2 part video of Saturday's hunt the link is posted on our website http://www.fortbedfordmetaldetectors.com/id40.html It's the October 23rd hunt. If anyone wants to see it.
Congrats to everybody for their Great Finds this weekend
Happy Hunting
