Return trip to colonial site

Dan and I decided to revisit last Fridays cellar hole. It was good to both of us, so we wanted to see what another trip would bring us. I knew it wasn't going to be as good as last week, as I got 4 coppers from this spot. I again found 4 coins but not what I expected. What a difference a week makes. lol Today's take.... 6 buttons, a 1926 dog tag, thimble, musket ball, a nice pocket watch winder, some other scraps and oh yeah... the 4 coins - a silver Washington, 2 Mercs and a dateless wheat cent rofl All great colonial coins :peace: :cheesysmile: What a picture perfect weather day we had. 7 hours of exercise in the woods thumbsup01

Are you sure you weren't in Illinois? That almost looks like one of my hunts. lol

Hey, maybe I will find four colonial coppers when I go detecting here in Illinois tomorrow! :thinkingabout: lol

Still, you can't beat 7 hours of being outside in the woods in perfect weather. :smitten:
 
Compared to what Ive been digging lately that's an awesome hunt George! |:cheering: Cool old dog tag and a nice rare 1943 wavey quarter :clapping:
 
I hate finding 20th century coins at a colonial site. Might coin drops from some loggers? At least you didn't get skinned. How did Dan make out?
 
i made out about the same (about 8 buttons and even more shot gun shells lol lol) minus the modern change :grin: . we must have hiked about 5 or 6 miles though and i needed the exercise :embarrassed:
 
wow 5 mile hike is past my limit. :stretcher:
You were in my neighborhood, I wish I could have been out there. :daydream: Nicely done! |:cheering: :waving:

Drew , we haven't had any museum hunts the last couple of weeks and been going out on fridays , i'd give you a call but i figured you were in school . ;)
 
Such finds at a colonial site that produced some nice coppers leaves me befuddled. Even though I don't hunt relics that must be frustrating. :congrats: on the hunt and all the keepers.
