I saw an area that looked good and showed Todd.we agreed to make the 2 mile trek.bush whackin,up steep hills we finally came to the area where the walls were.the cellar hole was so overgrown with bar berries but we managed to find it.tough swinging,mosquito's were vicious.1st 20 mins targets were popping.my 1st target was a 1776 half reale been over a year since I dug a spanish silver so,It was a welcome sight,2nd target was the 1805 draped bust 1/2 cent with a planchet flaw.Todd got a sweet find.a few buttons then things fizzled as fast as they startedwe had to work for a few more buttons.thought i dug a rifle barrel with the one target.no clue what it is and a pewter cap from something. my last target was a brass buckle could this be a late 1700's sling buckle?
On the way out we saw a penned area where we think a site was as there was a slight depression .todd popped a few buttons.i dug 2 iron spoons and half a wing which I think is part of a military shako hat plate? long day,long hike but we came out with some nice keepers!
