    Small early homesite produces a few old coins and relics

    Hit a new site yesterday (not on any maps), but only lasted 3 hours in the heat and humidity. Only knew about it from the farmer - an approximate 12'x12' scattering of stones and broken brick fragments strewn along a modern driveway/pull-in for tractors for access to one of his hay fields. Finds weren't overwhelming, but did manage a few keepers. Thanks for looking!

    Mostly typical late 1700s to mid 1800s fare here. Coppers were an 1818 Matron LC and a KG3 Hibernia half penny (1766 - 1782).

    Certainly worth revisiting when the weather cools off John. Is that a fancy ox knob upper left?
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank
