    New cellar hole, new copper and relics

    Yesterday I did some new research in Allyson's neck of the woods and found a few potential site's. One that caught me eye was deep in the woods and thought maybe it would be a better candidate because it was very secluded. We started the day late and after a very long hike and hours of searching, I finally found the site I was hoping for.

    We only had about 2 hours to hunt before sunset so we got to it My first target was a rusty square nail then the very next target gave me that sweet coin signal at around 5 inches deep. Sure enough it was a King George II and copper #43 for the year. In the same hole was the mangled tongue of an old shoe buckle along with another square nail. Next was a very nice complete pewter button in great shape with no flaking. An old tombac and shoe buckle frame were all nice old targets. An interesting piece that I pulled next was what looks like a name plate of the owner of the cellar hole... G.L. Ferguson

    Allyson made out good as well with a few buttons, spoon, Braided Hair Large Cent and a unique object that had a star etched into it. It is about the size of a dollar coin and surely colonial. Hopefully she sends me pics and try to get an ID on it.

    Yeah Rob, It is a Chinese coin. I forgot to remove it from the picture since I found it in my yard and have no clue what it's doing on my property. It seems pretty old but I know nothing about those types of coins
