Another weekend hunting cellar holes and colonial homes. The 1750 standing home that I found my 2nd GW button was my 1st destination for the weekend. My Uncle and I were planning on hunting the house and at the last minute, I decided to invite Dave 8/ 8/
Welp , everyone knows by now that Dave found the other 3 GW's that went along with a 4 piece set that mine had apparently been a part of. I had pointed out the area to Dave and my Uncle where I found my GW a week earlier. Big mistake! Before I could get my gear together and turn on my machine, Dave was like a blood hound swinging his coil :detecting: all around that area rofl rofl The rest is History :bop:
I was very Happy for Dave and his finds. My weekend turned out ok as I was able to find my first Civil War token dated 1863. The peddler badge was a very unique find as was a counter stamped Indian Head. A nice ornate shoe buckle had me scratching me head as it seems some bored colonial settler decided to curl it up into I don't know what :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: Another nice half of shoe buckle found my coil along with a hand full of buttons. The 1949 Washington and wheat penny's seemed out of place at one cellar hole.
A really neat advertising token dated 1887 and a copper stamped with the number 35 were nice surprises as well. Three Indian heads dated 1868,1898 and 1904 added to my booty. It seems that Dave found the quality while I found the quantity and the weekend turned out great for everyone.
