Default 2 hunts * 2 colonial coppers
Sat got out with Gary to 2 cellar holes,places were hammered! stopped at a 1750's farmhouse and talked to the owner.got the green light.not too much in the yard.a victorian era locket and a rather large bell minus the wooden handle.
Sunday got out with Jesse and hit a cellar hole.not much around cellar hole except the #2 crotal bell & a 69 cal musket ball,wandered into a adjoining wooded field and hit 2 coppers and a large tombac button.
the coppers are toasted but one is a connecticut & the other is a King George III

Sweet finds Dave! It's real dry here and that has kept the mosquito's at bay, so that's one good thing about the dry weather.

Great going! The spoon was probably purchased from the old Woolworth's on East Main st in Waterbury.

Great pics, love seeing photos of cellar holes for some reason. Sorry about my ignorance, but I am wondering what a tombac button is?
