1st Hunt in over a month* 2 coppers & silver

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

sat Got out with Thiltzy(Todd) & his friend John. Todd had a lead on on some potential cellar holes but we never found em.Instead we found ourselves 2 miles into the woods and no where to go but through a swamp mg:
stepping on grass clumps and fighting our way through green viney prickers :bananadance:
needless to say we made it out alive.found a cellar hole close to the road. I got the sterling silver brooch for the day.
Sunday Todd & me headed out to some of my sites but there was too much snow at all of them.so,we decided to head south a bit to a field with a salt box colonial home on the bordering property. I got 2 coppers, a King George II and a pretty wiped out one.having a hard time figuring what it is ?
& a cool fleur di lis bell or door knob face? was a great weekend for having limited sites due to the snow still on the ground

Dave, it's been about the same time since I have gotten to dig in the dirt. :congrats: on the coppers, that KG looks really good and the sterling is a nice find also. You're 2 miles in the woods, have to travel thru a swamp and then you find a cellar hole near the road. Don't know what to say......

Nice digs! I agree on the door bell ringer. It looks like you can see where the striker kept hitting that one spot??

any time period of when they were in business until?? because that looks atleast turn of the century to about 1920's era to me .
