I invited Dan/Del and Brian/TropperBri to hit a place on the maps that just screamed cellar hole. We were stymied trying to get there as a paper road that went through someone's yard was blocked off and marked with no trespassing signs (I'm going to contact town hall to see what's what :yes:). So we entered the woods further south, but had to hike a mile to the site. :stretcher: :lol:
I was hoping to find an undisturbed/off the beaten path site but every path in New England converged right there :lol: ...it was like the Boston hub of woods paths. I left the boys after about 4 or 5 hours, so I assume I'm first to post as they might still be there :lol: When I left everyone was doing well.
Not pictured are the 15 shotgun shells I dug. :duh:
I found my 4th Hibernia but it is in terrible shape. Dan says this one is from 1722-24. My others are in spectacular shape.
The fatty 1862 IH and D buckle are from yesterday's after work hunt. It was a really fun day and I'm glad everyone made out! Thanks!

Great stuff! Again, jealous of the east coast people as we normally don't have stuff that early in the midwest.

Sweet button Drew. Love the gilt on it and the design. Simplistic but aesthetic. Grats on the Hibernia.

Ohh.. Now I understand even further why. I figured he just thought the tri color looked nice. Not still onto the Canadia stint.

Great to see you had some good times with friends Drew. D buckle & star-patterned button are my favorites in your pics. I also see you found one of those tack-sorta things. I hear they're common, but I've never found one. Are they horse-related, old furniture tacks or something else? Just curious on your take.
