    town common!

    hi all ! i went to the town common today for a hour. this common is in a very old town wich produces alot. i stop by a couple of times a month and usally pull a old coin out of there. the last good one i got was a 1837o seated dime. ive also got some george 2s out of there and a couple of hard time tokens. just a couple of older wheats today 1916 and a 1918.today i found 2 three ringers and a large musket ball a small knife and a buckle but probley the best find was the silver cuff link. every thing was about 6 inches. i havent been getting out much lately kinda sick of the same old spots. my hunting partner sould be starting up soon for rhode island farm fields. last time i was there with him he got a oak tree shilling and a couple other hammered silvers. so hopefully ill be back to the norm and posting some killer finds. wild willy

    That common sounds like a great spot. Nice and relaxing detecting I bet, with some old coins to be found too. the Rhode Island farm fields also sound like sites where you can spend an entire day and not want to leave at the end of the day. lol

    Nice finds! Sounds like a great place to hit every once and again.

    Have you guys gotten out to the fields yet?.... they sound like they have all kinds of potential.
