    cellar hole hunt 1749 king george,fob seal with the etched glass.

    Nice day for a cellar hole hunt today,i found a king George 11 and a fob seal with the etched glass,that the first time I ever found a fob seal with the glass,the king George only read out in the 40vid very low I though it was a shotgun shell.

    I think the fob seal is one of the neatest finds I have seen in a long time!

    Awesome looking site Gary. Love the Wax Seal. All those tress looks to be about the same age (perhaps 10-15 years).
