Hi all,
Here's finds from another little cellar hole in a field I hit with my close friend from @greenmountaindiggers this past April 18. Only a short 30 minute drive away for me this time. Finds were fairly typical from an early Vermont homestead, but what was unusual were the counterfeit coins we dug there - 3! Those were two 1817 8 Reales and a cast pewter/other base metal 1830 Capped Bust Dime. We also found a blank copper planchet identical in weight/diameter to the 8 Reales coins. I only got over one of the "8's", but I find it very unique and it's now one of the more special items in my collection. Thanks for looking.
John
