Got out with Frank and Roger today.Dan was supposed to join us but,had a committment come up.Ya didn't miss much so don't sweat it Dan.
Got to the sites at 6:30 am.every site we had been to before and they were pounded hard previously but we gave it our all.
8 hours and about 8 different sites this is all I have to show for it.we really had to work for our finds today.Frank got a classic head LC ,roger didn't get very much and these are my finds.
a 1st for me this kind of shoe buckle frame.part of it is broke but still happy to add it to my collection.a couple flat buttons and a zouvae ball button front,a suspender buckle,a OLD oxknob and this very cool pewter/lead bust pendent?

we hiked our butts off today in 18 degree weather but was nice to hunt with Frank & Rog again.

18 degrees, now that's dedication! You dug a nice bunch of finds there. My favorite has to be the bust pin.
That thing looks cool. :congrats:
 
You guys always find the sweetest spots to hunt but that might be a little too cold for me. Glad you're still getting out.
 
Yeah, I got to agree with it being way to cold for this old guy. Some nice finds from a pounded site. You mentioned an "old" ox knob, what's the determining factor on what makes it old? Hope you can get in some hunts this year.
 
Had a great time getting out with you guys, even though I got nada. It's a great looking area but man the targets were slim. Love that pin, I guess they like poetry. :thumbsup02:

I was so beat that I can't believe I left my tector in Franks truck, but at least I didn't have to trek all the way back to the parking lot. I remember looking to make sure I didn't leave anything behind and didn't notice my tector was right in front of me :crazy: :duh:
 
Interesting bust thing Dave...too cold for me yesterday. I'm glad you guys were able to get together! I bet you were relieved to hear that knob, thinking you had a copper. :grin:

thanks Al! newer ox knobs have a hex head I believe.this one is more crude
 
That's a lot of cellar's for one day! That pendant is pretty cool! The bust looks Greek or Roman. What is the text ?
 
18F? You guys are a dedicated crew! Unfortunately that's becoming commonplace up here now. Love that pendant, definitely made the long hunt worth it.

Dave I'm sorry the sites were pretty exhausted but there are a lot of them up that way . they look like great sites too.
