Friday afternoon after class I headed up to CT in search of another colonial cellar hole in the same area as the one I hit the previous Sunday. This time I dragged Sam along with me. It was snowing at URI but not snowing where I was in CT. Sam and I met up and we hiked into the woods in search for the cellars. First site was a dud, pounded to death probably by people on this forum. Sam got a tombac and I got a button. Off to the second site. After wandering around we finally found it. Old site, been gone for a very long time. I dug two buttons right near the cellar hole within the first 5 minutes. Dug a folded up shoe buckle frame and then a KG2 right on the lip, (copper 9 & 1/4 FTY). Really nice shape. I then noticed somebody else's iron pile. Once again they missed a bunch of targets. Sam got a few buttons but pretty soon the signals dried up. On Sunday I stayed in RI and hit a couple of colonial cellar holes. Got a shoe buckle chape, a couple of tombacs, a quarter cut copper coin (2nd one of those I've dug this year) and one cuff link (missing the other matching one). Second site I dug another cuff link (also missing the matching one) and a tombac. I've never dug a cuff link before and then I find two in one day. Go figure. I then hiked for 1.5 hours to a site only to find it so pounded I didn't even dig one target. Oh well. Still a good weekend.
