My bud from SC came up to visit for the weekend, so we got out for some camping and digging. My wife and I are expecting our 2nd next month, and I'm sure my free time will become non-existent pretty soon. We had to get out for bro-time while we could, and got out we did!
I scored a nice 1773 Virginia Halfpenny, my second for this year! Also got a couple dropped CW bullets, an Enfield and Starr Carbine. Pretty stoked about the Starr, never found one before. The point has been identified as an Adena Spear point, and I spotted it right on top the ground in a freshly plowed field. I have no idea as to the age of anything else about it.
The unusual item with the archway & column design baffles me. Being a CW guy when I see pillars and arches I think Georgia seal, but I'm sure this isn't anything GA related. I'm not sure. Any help out there would be great!
Also got a couple percussion caps, rivets, a button back from a 2-piece button with the thread still attached, and a brass whats-it.
My buddy got a 1917 Mercury Dime, a nice flat button with a design, and a Spencer carbine bullet. I cant wait to do it again, but the wife says it may be a little while.
