Went and visited one of my steadily producing sites last Monday before it had gotten really cold and a slammed with snow. I guess I hunted for about 3 hours on 300+ acres. I have a pretty good idea where the majority of the activity took place on this farm years ago. I happened to stumble across a section that I haven’t really paid much attention to.
Walking back to the Jeep, I hit a nice high tone. My first thought was a can, the signal was loud and clear. Turned out to be an over-stamped Matron Head (1816-1835), its pretty toasted..but the stamp is very clear.
Had a couple other interesting finds as well, such as (what I think is) a lead button. Take a look at it, I haven’t seen anything like it before…and the shank is still intact. Also a found was a small lead disk that was folded.
