Trying out a new coil at some old sites. Managed to sniff out a deep Matron Head and an on edge dandy.
Also the remains of a bone-handled fork and a beaver tail.
Woods are staring to fill in.
Lots of young poison ivy.

Very nice Matron! Is the date 1832?
I like the dandy button and the Colonial fork handle too. We just don't stuff like that here in the Midwest. Nice!
Poison Ivy is sprouting up here too. I hate the stuff. I think the photo you posted might be a young hickory tree though.
Congrats on the finds!

Good finds. The largie has a nice green patina. I agree with Tony though, not poison ivy. But in all honesty I have had poison ivy really bad before and basically run away from ANY plant with 3 leaves!

Thanks gents. Glad it wasn't poison ivy. It was pretty thick in some places.

That is one GOOD LOOKING beaver tail!! Probably 1960s!! I'd guess Schaefer...did you find more than one?
(showing my age)
That's also a pretty green on that Matron.
Do you always hope for a GW when you're cleaning a dandy? I do.
Deep shotgun shells near an old cellar are a drag.
Nice hunting, my friend!

Nice mid-date Matron Jeff! Love the curly-topped 2s on those older coppers.
