well George and i had the day off from the museum hunts we have been doing as of late , so we headed of to an early colonial we had hit a few times in the past. early George the 1st to classic head coppers have come out of this area and its a lot places to still cover , it was a short day for us as G had to be back around 1pm.
i was anxious to use the tdi sl on this spot , between the new coil and now being a lot more familiar with it i was looking toward getting back here . i focused around the cellar from about 25 ft out to up into the nearby fields , digging all non-ferrous targets and only digging deeper or larger iron ones . ( Drew i think i broke your ox shoe record lol lol) a few of the oxshoes were over 8 inches and one was just about elbow deep :shocked04:stretcher: in the hole when i finally found it. the chain was pretty cool as none of its links are the same size all hand wrought individually it is about 4ft long .
i did get an iron knife blade as well as this old (pre-1800's era designed button )
it had no shank and for a few moments i thought i had a half cent
George and i have never seen the design before thumbsup01
one of the best finds was this colonial Knee buckle it was wedged between three large rocks ( all about pineapple sized) and around 8 inches down , its mostly iron with a very thin brass frame . between the rocks mineralization and the iron construction and depth George and i may have missed this target as it was pretty close to the cellar and where we have both covered before. it screamed out non ferrous on the tdi :happydance01: the U.S. Army button was found a couple of weeks ago and was put in there for size reference.
aside from the Army button heres a few finds from the last couple of weeks at various sites George and i had only a few hours out at each one so heres the better stuff
a pretty decent 95 indian
a couple of crotal bells
and one of the few coppers i have found this year , a 1749 King George II
hey thanks for looking and HH all.
