CELLAR HOLE*1787 CT COPPER*SILVER *COOL KEY!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

got out today with foundation hunter(Gary) went back to an old colonial tavern site that he pulled 18 coppers from in the past.before we got to that site there was a foundation just before it that had some logging trails just cut through the dense woods behind foundation,that's where i dug the barber and indian heads.
once down at tavern site was pretty quiet then got a deep quarter reading out popped a shot blank copper.Gary was next to yell hey check this signal yep sweet signal at 8 inches.he got his 1st Fugio cent.
few mins later not far from his coin i got a reading at 8 inches,then the 1787 Connecticut copper saw the light of day.a few buttons one being a nice designed one piece with a W.H JONES & Co backmark.then i got a good iron signal & decided to dig.pretty cool old hand forged iron key.pretty cool the way the end is curled like a stove burner .
a nice day out & lookin forward to sundays hunt with the rebel Roger.

I love the old roads in the woods, I have to walk up them when I see them. When you work a homestead how much time do you devote to the surrounding areas, fields etc? Oh.....and the finds are nice, especially the key :)

thanks Dan! yeah i didn't think i'd have any type of year like i did last year now i'm eating those words. gary's Fugio looked decent just coming out but after cleaning he said it's rough.but it's his 1st and he was long over due in that dept.
the eyeball bugs were brutal >:# hate them the most >:/ :hairpulling: other than the humidity was a good day! did u guys get out?

well once the area around cellar hole has been worked we tend to fan out and swing through the fields,or come back at a later date after we run out of spots to go and work those areas.

Yeah love the shrooms man :shocked04:stretcher: lol The yellow one is like the sun. A Donovan song comes to mind.... You are a great photographer Dave- as always, I love your nature shots! That first picture is amazing. So the tavern was that big? Can you explain the walls- are they on either side of the once upon a time road leading to the tavern that is right in front of you? I've never been cellar hole digging.

Congrats on the silver and coppers :clapping: That key is really wild- never seen one like it!
