    Happy Thanksgiving all!

    Saved this beauty last week from a current 1910 house in Suffield, CT that had a colonial home on it originally. The property has also seen fill as this was recovered at 10...

    It's 100% Warren, Drew. I know Brunk's book lists multiple Warrens, including J. Warren. Plus you can see a hint of the "N" on the edge of the coin.
    Thanks for looking, and some ideas. I may have to...

    Countermark on Spanish silver

    Obviously I know what it is. An 180? Spanish 2 Real with most of J. Warren's countermark across the obverse.
    This was dug a couple weeks ago at a quiet colonial cellar hole in northern CT.

    I...

    Thanks everyone! I'm not sure I'll ever top a day like that.

    Funny thing was, being caked in dirt, the first thing I saw was some fancy around the edges and thought it was just another dandy with...

    I've joined "The Club"! - 4/23

    So, two weeks ago when we found that we were on an untouched site, Dan made a prediction a couple hours into the hunt. With all the dandy buttons popping, there had to be a George Washington...

    Amazing colonial site with Del - 4/9

    Dan already summed up our adventures from Saturday, so I'll keep it brief.

    Spot #1 looked great with hardly any walls, all by it's lonesome, and even the tiny road into it was mostly overgrown by...

    That piece is built like a clip-on earring Tim. But I think it clipped onto clothing maybe.

    The oval piece is part of a saddle strap guide Al. It was great seeing you again!
  9. Group hunt with del, Jim, Jeff, and Al - 4/1

    Dan and I met up with a MangoAve, Lodge Scent, and Aloldstuff on Friday for a 6 or 7 hour group hunt on the 9 acre field I got permission for this week. There was a home on it at one point, now it's...
  10. Group hunt with the Digger Duo, hiluxyota, Drew and Del - 3.26

    I too have been reminded I've been quiet here lately, so I'll start posting up, and get some past digs up too.

    Like the title states, got together with Dan for the usual Saturday dig, plus some...

    The Flying Eagle was 1857, my bad.
    Thanks for the link on the spoon. Bailey was coming up, just not with the maker's mark I had.

    The Classic is in great shape, 1813. And to find one in this good condition isn't easy, so I'm very happy. It needs a wee bit more of cleaning, but it's stuck on good. The KG2 at that same hole is...

    Group hunt in Mass - 11/15

    Our friend Jim in Sturbridge is on a permission roll this summer. He was hunting public land and got approached by a private land owner who was worried Jim was trespassing. He wasn't, and after...

    Thanks everyone!

    Yes Drew, I was working around the stone pile at the "hole".

    I'm liking the MXT a whole lot Dave. Can see why you and Todd are locked into them. Only a month with it and it feels like an old friend.

    Back to the cabin site - 11/14

    First of all, I love switching from my V3i to the plain MXT. So fast and simple, I love it for cellar hole hunts. I finally tossed my D2 coil on it for this weekend's hunts.

    Dan and I got started...

    I'll get up a post tomorrow Dan. Yesterday's group hunt coughed up two largies for me and what I think is a very worn copper.

    Not dead, just busy and forgot to post up in AD the past couple weeks. Sorry!

    Lone find from a NH dig - 10/18

    Ok, I lied. I dug an escutcheon plate from a piece of furniture too, but didn't bother with a pic.

    It was almost in the open area Drew. It was maybe 10ft into the road that went through the stone wall that's blocked by 2 large boulders. I did get that chape and plain button in the open area...
  24. My oldest coin with Drew and Dan! - 10/24

    Saturday Dan and I took a ride into Drew's neck o' the woods to check out a spot that was supposed to have a cellar hole.
