cellar-men get out

[del]

Today George and I had a couple of cellar sites to hit before the freezing temps return back here in Connecticut. I had two sites that were somewhat familiar with me from about a decade ago with a possible new one i never knew was there until just last night. being this very well is our last hunt of the year and a possible "unhit" site I thought i'd get a few friends together. I invited four but only two accepted Thiltzy (Todd) and HEAVYMETALNUT (Dave) the weather was great and the ground was like butter.

here is a "legendary Trio" Thiltzy , Coinnut and HEAVYMETALNUT doing their best imitation of being lost.

and heres a couple of the sites we hit, this first one was where of the bulk of the finds came from. I found two coppers very early on , a King George II ( worn no date) and a King George III (in rough shape and no date) and a few buttons .

Looks like a great way to end the year, Dan! Very bummed I missed your email last night, but I do appreciate being in your thoughts.
What's the thing at the bottom left of the second picture? I've found one like it and think it's some sort of bed roll buckle.

great pics Dan! thanks for the invite.still cleaning your coins?

nope the coppers are really not worth a closeup :lol: even the indian (1884) is rough , the best coin condition-wise is the wheatie (1917) .

the item is a type of horse harness buckle.

This is our last hunt of the year for real right? :hystericallaugh: I think it is. Was great getting out for a stress free day. Nice to see Dave again and finally meet the copper king :notworthy: Todd. I had a decent day scoring two beat coppers, a barber dime, and of all things - a war nickel. 3 nice musket balls, bunch of buttons and a whole lot of fun. Before you ask Dan, there is no date on the large cent and the small copper is a Hibernia. I guess I got a thing for harps lately :dontknow: I think we are getting some real snow Thurs into Fri so start cleaning your stuff!!

Nice finds guys :thumbsup01:

[OxShoeDrew]

Wish I could have joined you guys but alas I'm forced to relax in the sunshine of southern CA. :cheesysmile: I hear you folks might get a bit of snow Thursday...so sorry I'm going to miss it :grin:
Happy New Year and we'll get some hunting in when the snow melts.

[Lodge Scent]

Great way to end the year :thumbsup02:

[Thiltzy]

I had a great time hunting with the "cellar guys". Thanks so much for the invite Dan and gratz on the two coppers and the Injun. "Dave are you one of those that just skip through the text on posts only to look at pictures :lol::lol:" you nailed it Dan, Dave just looks at the pics he just wants to see if you had better finds than him:poke:

[Thiltzy]

Hey George, nice find on the Hibernia. I have yet to dig one. You had a good day. I was wondering what the date was on the Barber?

[coinnut]

The Barber was a 1901 in VG condition. I wish it was a Flowing Hair :drool:

well brush that "mop" more often and you won't get "twigs" :poke::poke:

[Timewarpdigger]

Great finds, great friends, you could ask for anything more!!! Congrats of the KG's. Safe & HH

[Bell-Two]

Nice finds Dan, that buckle on the bottom I found one almost identical to it but it was plow bent.

[fsa46]

Now that's an awesome four hunters hitting a spot. After these four guys hit a spot together it can be crossed off the, " to be hunted " spot.... veterans all. Great to see you all got out together and made some nice finds.

[aloldstuff]

Great hunting. Good thing you were there cause they really do look lost in that 1st picture. :lol: To me, you guys are the "crew" as far as cellar hole hunting goes. Glad to see that all of you got out for that last hunt.

Best of luck in 2014 and looking forward to your finds

[jkress]

Awesome bunch of recoveries guys! Love, and drooling over all of them.




"Cellar Men" Now that's a TV show I would watch! :thumbsup02:

Oh yeah!! Me too. Now that's a show for sure. :yahoo:

You have that right Al!!! I've never seen any group even close to these guys pulling up Colonial America. :notworthy:

Great post, pictures and recoveries Dan and crew. Hopefully this next storm will miss you folks and your hunting grounds. :crossfingers:
