1787 Fugio Buttons Spoons

[foundation hunter]

I got switched into a new department 3 months ago and my boss metal detects on the weekends,which made my job a lot eaiser,he never detected cellar holes but after yesterday hes hooked and he has a lot of private spots.i found some some private land with 5 cellar holes he said he knew the owner,so we took a ride out sunday morning to the old farmhouse,they were both in there 80s and enjoyed our company,buy the time they opened the gate it was 12 noon then we had to find the cellar holes which was quite the hike,we only spent time at the first one but we will be going back.The spoon says Sheffield Plate Co.

It sounds like you have an ideal situation there. I would definitely be hitting that area again. Love the Fugio! That would be a dream find for me!

:congrats:

:thumbsup02:..awesome score on the FUGIO!!!!

Nice score on the Fugio :clapping: Next time your are detecting with your boss, plant a replica Pine Tree shilling. When he finds it, he'll be so ecstatic you can hit him up for a big fat raise right then and there. Don't be rechecking your boss's dug holes either. If you do, at least don't tell him you found something that he missed. Good luck on those other cellar holes.:crossfingers:

wow some great types of coinage being found this past weekend !!

Gary sounds like a great area to detect i hope you two continue to recover some nice finds:crossfingers:
the fugio is a very difficult one to try to id , most of the key areas are either covered with verdigris , not lighted well enough or too rough to see clearly to attribute. maybe Don can chime in with the answer , I just don't see enough to decide .
