I've been lazy on this forum, but now that school is done for the year I should hopefully be more active. Not gonna say much but I'll post a few pictures of some of my better finds. Nothing incredible, mix of colonial and newer stuff, weirdest find has to be the 1813 Russian 2 kopeks. Hope you all enjoy!

I hope so. I actually went back to the site today and pulled a trigger guard piece (my first one) so that increases the odds that it is indeed military related.

I was like this, too, but not cuz school. No excuses now!Nice finds. Guessing you get spots where the original owner's drops are still there. Betting the kopek was from a settler that just immigrated. I think he'd have needed to exchange that to spend it by that time.
Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
