Thread: 2 New sites more great luck

    2 New sites more great luck

    This week I started another couple of spots. These are both yards. One still has a late 1700s house on it the other is a little more deceptive as it has a house from about 1930. Same old story it's the research that pays off. There was a 1700s here too. The first house produced a 1804 half cent and a really nice 1787 Ct Copper as well as buttons and other normal stuff. The second place had a 1787 NJ copper and buttons as well as the normal stuff.
    Research pays off

    I think two state coppers and shoe buckles gives it enough Colonial for me to stay. I'll call you if needed.

    colonial by definition is when we were a colony. so the coins at least don't make the cut. I'm just messin' great finds. Superb condition on the CT copper and the half cent isn't too shabby either. Great job on the research. I have a similar site like that. In fact, my best site I've ever hunted is just an abandoned 1920s home but had an older home on it. I've pulled over a dozen pre CW coins there. :D
    I <3 colonial relics!

    Well it is not luck Todd, as a wise person said "Luck is the residue of design"! Interesting point what is "Colonial"? Now just my opinion anything 1800 and earlier for at the turn of the century most people alive were born or lived most of their lives under Colonial rule....just how I feel no hard facts from "experts" to back that up.

    The thirteenth colony (Rhode Island) ratified the Constitution in 1790 and in my opinion put an end to the "colonial era" and brought about the United States and the "federal era" .
