Sunday I had picked a spot that Dave and I had been looking at for a while. While making the trip, I told Dave in the car that I had a really good feeling about the sites we were about to hunt. I don't no why but, I just had one of those warm and fuzzy feelings as I was heading to Dave's house.
The first hole was a rather large cellar with center chimney. The site was kind of eerie as there were three skeletal deer and coyote remains around the cellar hole. My first coin was a smooth King George II and then a few feet from that was a 1831 Matron Head with a holed center. Dave also found 2 coppers at this site. After a couple hours I thought there was a good chance of some other cellar holes along the old road way.
I decided to make my way down the long road when I came across another site with a much smaller cellar hole. This site looked very old but the coils were quiet around the hole. We started fanning out away from the cellar and that's when we caught fire. Buttons after buttons popping out and then I got two more coins, Both being Connecticut coppers happydance02 Then I started finding shoe buckle frame pieces from three different buckles and to my surprise, when I got home and cleaned them, I noticed one had a hand etched date of 1659!My oldest relic to date. Everything from this site was old and was probably one of the more exciting hunts we had since the virgin site
