The first thing I want to say is Thank You to Dan, Lee & Al for giving up their time and showing us a great time while we were there. The weather kind of sucked, but the company and the adventure were excellent!!
Most of all, my son had a blast and for that I am forever grateful!!

I would also like to thank Daddy Digger, Ill Digger & Hiluxyota for sharing this adventure with us!

I'm glad the trip turned out so good Don. You both got a good assortment of finds and some of it is colonial for sure. Is the little cross silver? It looks it in the picture. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

It's not stamped.It feels a little heavy to be aluminum.I'll test it and let you know.

Congrats on a very productive trip, Don! (And Alec!) :clapping:

Nice variety of coins and relics. That cross sure looks like silver to me. I like the thimble too, I bet it's old. Nice Two cent piece, 1926 SLQ and 1838 Large Cent as well!

Hopefully I will be able to visit New England next year. :crossfingers:

:congrats:

Don and Al, I am sure that you both know that you're more than welcome to come back. It's nice to see the young whippersnapper whooping the old guys butt. Try to bring Tony next time.

Great group of keepers, maybe next time that elusive GW button will appear.
