    #7 hunt on MB Hill......Are you sick of me yet?

    Went back up to the hill today and took Tom with me. He's the guy that loaned me his e-trac and took me to some of his sites when I first got here. We both had lots of good finds. He got the oldest coin, a silver 1794 Kreuzer (similar to the one I got yesterday). I found a couple buckles and a very small one (that I'm hoping turns out to be medieval). A silvered cane tip, a couple coins and musket balls, plus my first tombac dandy button! Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

    Thanks Tony. Can you believe I'm up to 10 buckles now? I wonder how many I will have after 3 years? LOL!

    Keep the posts coming Dave! Looks like you'll have a potato sack full of musket balls in 3 years time! That could add some baggage cost on your eventual plane trip back across the pond!
