Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share my finds from last Sundays hunt with you guys. I recently took a friend up on an invite to hunt an old home site. Its an early 1800's Farm property. Very cool permission! I found about 10 clad quarters there, more than I think Ive found in the last 6 months hahaha. I'm not used to doing house sites, I felt a little out of my realm to be quite honest. (I typically am detecting old farm fields or in the woods looking for Colonial) There were tons of signals! Got my first silver of the year though Its a good one too, and a first for me.
Thanks for looking and HH

Nice find! I have found a lot of Spanish Silver (65 pieces over the years) but seated silver always seems to elude me. Is that a Westmoreland County PA find? I'm from Ligonier. Your star shaped token might be from Idlewild Park. I remember making them there at a booth in the park as a kid.
 

Congratz on a very nice find!

Steve,
Yep just on the other side of the county from ya. I checked out your "INCREDIBLE DAY - 3 Colonial Silvers" thread. Very awesome! I hunt Colonial 98% of the time. I was fortunate enough to find 5 1/2 reales last year as well a ton of KG's and LC's. We should meet up for a hunt sometime.

Also if you get the chance check out my YouTube channel, all my youtube videos are of colonial finds pretty much. Subscribe if you have an account.
