I made it our with HEAVYMETALNUT (Dave) and Thiltzy (Todd) yesterday for some much needed hiking and detecting . After our first possible site was turned up no sites Todd suggested another site of theirs that they been wanting to go back to. So after a short drive then a good hike we arrived at a nice secluded older colonial with many stone walled pens . It was a great area but the only drawback was many many fallen trees littering the immediate area around where the home sat. Not a huge amount of targets but some good ones , one was a large button that looked like it has a bit of gold gilt hiding under the dirt.
but cleaned up very nicely to reveal a lot of gilt and "hand tooled" design that i was very pleased with .
Also after finding many pieces in the past of this "bucket lister" i finally found a brass spur , i'm hoping i can narrow down an accurate time period to this one .
I also seen something we don't often see here in New England .... a log cabin or whats left of one .
can't beat detecting in January !! thanks for looking .
