Oh, this was the spot you pointed out to me. I thought Al took you to his field again. It's in great shape. At least the plow never hit it. An 1854 with arrows. I think you need to get a macro lens for your phone for xmas..... lol.
 
Great to get out with you again. So Lee goes left, I go right.....you can see the results. Huge congrats on that 1/2 dime and thanks for letting me see it in the hole (if you can call that a hole...:lol:). hunt with lee copper field 001.jpghunt with lee copper field 002.jpghunt with lee copper field 003.jpghunt with lee copper field 004.jpg

I managed a couple of cool items. The last photo shows what I think is a flint from a flintlock. I found the one in the middle and the one on the right is from a Brown Bess (my father was a rev war re-enactor.) I can see some napping on the one I found so hopefully it is what I think......thoughts?
 
Lee, why do you think there have been so many coins found there? Must have been a gathering spot of some sort. Congrats on yet another bucket lister!
 
Congrats on the small half dime Lee :perfect10: , we've seen many of these found this year but I'll never get tired of seeing them :smitten:.


Al , the flint is a very cool and interesting item and still on my list to find .

Intriguing.... Last summer when I was down Lee's way I did get something like that. I thought it was obsidian, possibly a broken arrow point made by....a Wangunk. It was the red house a few doors down from this 'field' and I found it way in the back of the yard in the back brush pile area. I only found it because of a big deep aluminum sign near it. Prob was in the dirt that got moved around. I'll take a pic later to see if shape matches up.

Dan....you haven't found one yet? You found the rest of the parts to the gun...

its been used as an allotment since the early 16 hundreds and i guess they didn't have very deep pockets back then.
the town ploughs it twice a year before they rent out plots for the towns folk to grow vegetables on.
